Ark Raft Wreck
Seeing the darkened clouds
accumilate
I spy through my mind's
eye
And feel the stormy winds
acidic rain sting all about
my naked face
And hasten hastenly to build
myself an ark / raft fit purpose
bespoke for wrecking
Using any material disposable
close to hand i can possibly find
So none the less i can sail
away above the crashing
tidal wave of black foam
pushing back
And stand aboard the deck i
cobbled out of adams brittle
fractured missing
rib bone
Scouting the horizon for the
1st sign
Of a glacier or dry land
in order to beech dock
this vessel and step my
feet ashore
And so anoint myself
King for the day and evermore
Purveyor of everything i see
before me 1 sole property
proprietor
In order to start and begin
the long hard process
and rebuilding again
Armed only with what the
storm has left behind in
it's wake
