barren wasteland of indigo,
sea of dark blue
insatiable desires
you once vanished whole ships,
the toys of children
and their fathers
scientists say you’re shrinking,
unable to resist old age
at the coast your weary hands
brush against my feet
with the weight of a thousand waves
don’t fuss
you’ll soon lie cold and disgruntled
