Ocean Glass


Gliding over ocean glass. 

As natural as the waves themselves.

The search-profitless.

Alas, the white-haired captain serves chum to the open water.

All take their place

And set to picking and gobbling.

 

A hero to the feathered bodies,

The captain sails away,

Shattering the ocean glass with his wake.
