Shipwreck

There were dolphins on the ceiling,

their grey bodies in greenish waters,

dancing through shadows cast by artificial moonlight

I pretend the hairs interrupting my vision,

broken masts and sails,

Darkness engulfs the white cross,

on my parent's ivory rosary,

In a redundant coil of a self-eating snake,
