Hyacinths

I don't know what to make of it, strands of an errant dream, when hyacinths sought rebellion, and a mechanic plied uncertainly across an eastern sea. It lies there out of reach, the tail end of a tale, of vistas far and unknown, of stories almost told, of gulls that fly stationary, caught in an offshore breeze, of small boats launched into exile by hapless navigators, from a gray and gloomy beach, just about midday. There's something about a romantic revolt, by some who should have known better, and flowers stolen from a vase, and thrown to the street below, a desperate signal that the game was over, and all involved must flee. One loved one left for sacrifice, to cover for the rest. A sense of loss and of despair, no home, no friends again.
