How long could I stay here

How long could I stay here

Without a field

Or branch

Or tree


Waiting for the big boat

Moving slowly

Across

A bounded sea


Rising as a tower or platform

To dwarf

The white sailed

Sailing boat I see


We have a time for the crying

It is a gift

Gifted

To the all of us who are to be


Although for now

Preservation

Is our perseverance

For our final shoal of reverie
