Awaken Not Stirred

Listen to poem:
unfathomable all contact lost beyond reach of umami petulance 'tis impenetrable sonar blips blubbed, unopened as dead mail pings re-echoed dispelled, quashed peripheral smiles cast-off in scows shipwrecked eyes lashed with umbilical sighs all at sea, adrift hand-paddling willy nilly circling in coracle cradle corral round and round the driftwood dry-rot spins in whirlpool hole, nebula black awaken not stirred the cast-away alights from sleep alone, prone and dripping wet self-marooned, ring-fenced on atoll beach in cuckoo's nest

At first I didn't think I liked this, but after rereading it, I found it much clearer. Actually wonderfully written. I see it clearly in my mind. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for your feed back, the mind can be unclear when it awakens. Cheers
