bones from the sunken ship

 


lay me down

on craggy rocks, where cedar and pine trees 

veil the blue sky


let my bones be salted

by seagulls & shrunken dried by sun & clouds 


i will float

not a lost map

nor a ghost from 18th century sunken ship


but to the vibrancy 

of turquoise waves &

woodpecker's incessant tapping 

on pine tree





Big Tub Harbour, Tobermory
