LINE FOR THE TITANIC
You are a line I write
on a blank piece of paper
#-@*¶¢¡__â(..-..)?__¤O-µ¶*$#
It seems strange
to see you this way
yet it is how I remember you best
@*¶¢¡__â(..-..)?__¤O-µ¶*$
filling my empty spaces
with your dots and dashes
that stand around like illustrated quotations
all in a row
¶¢¡__â(..-..)?__¤O-µ¶
You are a line I write
that grows smaller by the day
¡__â(..-..)?__¤O-
as you drown your life in selfish
tears
like a forever sinking ship out on the water
¡â(..-..)?__¤
flashing your SOS
to me where I sit
on my long distance shore
with only my lines of naudical poems
to throw to you
I can not save you from your fate
(..-..)?
I can only watch as you float
in an out of focus
..-..
and then completely fade away
without a word to be said
-
You are a line I write
in a book of stolen memories
pasted beside the ticket you gave me
the day you sailed away
and I got to the dock too late.
