“the only shore”
watering ivy grown on an abandoned ferriswheel in neverland
she remembered the eye of the sahara
there was no correlation between the two
but then was there a correlation between anything
walking away from ivy - she stalled her feet in quicksand
she dipped deeper and deeper till she looked down
she found that her feet werent in quicksand but quicksand was in her feet
she mustered courage and tried to find her feet
courage devoid of fate loomed to be nothing
it was the site of an approaching quicksand seagull that rushed her feet up
that seagull was her courage- quicksand her fate
life reversed these analogies to cast her anew
she walked with her thighs covered in wet gluey mud
that green ferriswheel zooming large
all of a sudden she saw kittens sucking onto their dead mother
her son had died leaving her mammary glands painfully milky
those kittens then sucked onto her
analogies reversed again
night had fallen anew
there was nothing in sight other than reflection of a single star on quicksand
she found hope in quicksand
changed her direction after having fed the kittens
her nipples didnt pain anymore
her feet no more in quicksand
she sat by the bay of quicksand and prayed to that single star
she prayed for the quicksand to turn into a lake for her to reach a shore
she slept over it
she woke up to see a shore
the mother cat was sleeping on her belly
she took a boat to the shore and rowed it with the mother cat and her kittens
they reached home to a red sky at a place called zanzibar where they lived happily ever after
star-splashed at what at happened she asked a local where they were
she kept asking but noone replied
there were rivers of liquor devoid of hangover at this place
there were rivers of honey
date palms here and there
and no-one talked but only took a sigh of relief
this really was zanzibar-
