The Cloud

A small ship, an old ship Scarred relic of past wars That young sailors never knew That old sailors never forget, She sails now with tattered dignity From one sad port to another Doing tasks her younger sisters, Still flower-fresh in shipyard paint, disdain. Even the waters she sails are ignored by ...

Loneliness is not The dim street lamp On the darkest corner Until she stands under it Waiting In the yellow cir...
