The archipelago of life
has beaches I have never seen.
They are locked in probability.
Houses that would have been
a happiness to live in.
Friends I would have adored
had I met them.
Unwritten poems and music
brought together
at some future place.
Where a ship might have gone,
cast anchor,
and down its plank I would run.
Where I would whisper,
save me.
Put me next to love.
Give me faith,
let my heart explode!
The book The House of the World has been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize and is now available on Amazon.
