Floating Fruits

Lightning howled

as the wind whipped the crooked trees

We watched as the ship

was dragged to the bottom

One survivor tried to 

Save her basket of fruits

Fleshy Mangoes

Oversized Apples

Blushing Peaches

Silky Grapes

But the basket was swallowed 

by the gaping waters

And the fruits

The fruits were sent away

The next morning

We saw them

Nodding away

Up 

and

Down
