her ship is sinking

her ship

is sinking. the hands have
gone
overboard.

the end is near.
drowning in

her own decisions.
she pretends to pray

some more.
the wood has rotted

the sails are torn.
age
has stolen her beauty,

the world
knows who she is,

and therein lies
the rage.

to the bottom of the bottom
she goes.

and from the shore
I stand,
I wave.
