Human Maggots

Human Maggots If ejaculated semen From millions of seafarers Over hundred years Think if this floating loneliness Had met up and formed An Island And up from its depth sprung The unborn like larvae Whose only contact With mothers were what The seaman Was dreaming of at the time Not Atlantis re- emerging But an island born out of tedium And tired desire Not on a chart To find its existence So be careful when dreaming.
