After the Flood
They lie dead
scuttled ships
marauders no more
merely firewood
for the pitch black flames
They lie prone
paralyzed senses
forces no longer
only drops
from puddles of ****** mutiny
Captains of real estate
they settled on new worlds
from old buildings
three arks on a maiden voyage:
the NiΓ±a
the Pinta
and the Sandinista
Release the collective animal
ruling in symphony
with those heavy waters
now a graveyard
Cleansed mind
falling reign
their kingdom come and go
