I shall be leaving for an unknown harbor
\non an unknown date.
\nI shall look at the coast as it recedes.
\nI will count the terns
\nflying above the shore
\nand wonder where my luggage is.
\nI will sing a song to myself, consoling,
\nand the waves, each one,
\nas they pass, asking
\ndo you know what the beach is?
\nWhat it will do to you?<\/p>\n
But like children they will go on,
\ntheir shirts open in the wind,
\ntheir dresses trailing.
\nAnd I will think on that unknown day,
\nat that unknown time,
\nhow strange to see their fate,
\nand see mine,
\nboth going in opposite directions,
\nto arrive at the same place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
