Overseas

They’re sailing further overseas

thoughts sent away

in a handful of white

now and then

the wind is whispering

some of the words

and the waves are rumbling

through the verses

so far

so wide

so wild

I suspect them tomorrow

at the horizon

in the wave breakers

stranded on the beach

hear

how their rhymes rustle

in the shells

and on the sand.
