Washed Out to Sea

by J F Keane

entry picture

Anchors away

These islands must move

Sever all ties and drift

Across widening waters

 

Legal, commercial, historic

Chains wrench apart

Snap and drop soundless

Into deepening tides

 

Aloof and unbonded

Washed out to sea

This Ghost Ship nation

Drifting to nowhere.
