POEM: Marooned

By Berniegourley @berniegourley

wracked & shattered -
crawling ashore
sputtering & coughing -
clawing the sand

i roll like the detritus lapped by waves,
but more spastically -
not with the gentle surrender of a warped deck timber -
but like a thing struggling not to be pulled back in -
though lacking the strength to press up to hands-n-knees

a coconut thuds onto sand
&
satori
