A Wish for Someplace Else
Ben Bisaillon
Contributor
Leave
your jewels in old
shoes
salt water
makes it easy
to float
still
drown in
ocean
air
setting sunlight
rocks watch
from the shore
stars see shapes
from the sky
they are all guardians
cold is bearable
in due time
wrapped and wading with
seventy-one percent
of the Earth
