Somewhere At Sea (The Usual View) Poem by Sophie Allyah

Somewhere At Sea (The Usual View)



Twelve thirty-five in the morning
I am on duty, on the bridge
About fifteen minutes ago
I had finished my coffee
Looking through the windows
All I see are darkness and glitters;
Flashes of lightnings, and shooting stars;
Dark grey clouds and white bubble waves;
The small light gleaming in the distance

After writing down I looked again

Nothing change

No huge Godzilla surfacing
or any unusual figures at the sea
No Superman nor Ironman nor
spaceship dashing through the sky

Where's the moon?

Just clouds, stars, lightnings, waves and
a gleam of the light from afar.
