Poetry Drafts / 22 April 2018

sailing in silence

…

silence. stirring. silence … silence.

…

“ALL THE WORLD’S A STAGE…”

…

and it never became more than a monologue, even if the stage at times were filled with ghosts of those that I abhored …

…

To count the ages, a single hand did not suffice, I used my two and then broke off; two thumbs and a bird in flight.

…

It became apparent; to those that cared to read; I had come the full circle; I had sailed the seven seas.
