Dehydration Poem by Bill Sargeant

Dehydration



slow
ever-after stars

white hulls ease
through moonlit seas

a wake of waves
the sucking sound of dragged sand

sleepless gulls
a scream…

then silence
again the scream of gulls

unwinds my wounds
and the words

‘tis better to have loved and lost
he said, she said

sadly
tear by tear

fluid ounce by fluid ounce
the sea drinks me through a straw
