Wat(er)
What good is a sailboat in the r a g i n g ocean?
But are the waves so violent?
why
There
is light on the horizon
Yet
the waters
are clearly choppy
and aggressive
Dark
and full of emotion,

The sailboat sits
Off center
(Un)Earthly
in its
...stillness...
Amongst the rivalsome waters
It is pure white
Un touch ed
and
->unmoving<-
It
doesn’t care
about the state
of the ocean
And,
now that I think
about
it
There.
is no wind,
\either/
The sails are
still
The ocean is simply alive
And the boat is not floating
suspended,
It is
hardly in contact with
the surface
It does not belong to the ocean
And the waters are my rage
This was a random, almost nonsensical poem, which I initially deemed to be about my attempt to remain pristine and guided amongst the tumult of my emoceans. Now it is an abstract piece of art, and prides itself on meaninglessness.
