Insulted with insurance
Telephone updates.

Mistress of the sea,
And you, bright fame
Of the island;

Together you teach
The one who is like God;
A heavenly flower
That blooms with your touch.

Where are you, Nessie?
You, have lived so long, 
an eternal legend…
Neptune’s companion.

The word...
Says little and less,...

Golden fingers play
Tickle Earths children
Sunrays playing games
Tiny seedlings drink

Full and ripe.

Thank...

eaten by embers of the sun
marshmallow earth
burnt to a crisp
