When the ship leaves

 Moored not far from the abode
The ship would depart for england that afternoon
Something they were convinced was important
Raising flags and giving speeches

Would I be on that ship
Or left back here at port
loitering around beachfront shops
purposeless and lost

No I'd be stuck in the bungalow
writing words forming roots
That traveled like the ship
Underground mycorrhiza for my creativity

The smell of salt and confusion
The pen runs dry of ink
The islands and inlets that inspired me
remain unmentioned

pieces of the land and people I wanted to grace
In an empty state stuck on this thin chunk of coast
