In any case, I
Didn’t mind the emptiness.
Light blue skies during the day,
Bright stars on pitch
Black at night.

I feel like,
a Tiny spec just drifting about when I look
Out into empty sea from
Deck 3

I might say that
Being so unknowingly isolated
from Civilization brought
the Familiar and unfamiliar
Together.

Now in fact, you can’t
Separate them.

but let us have deep sympathy
for Buddy, a dog who fell asleep
by the edge of the door
Awaiting a joyful return.

But I don’t want to talk about the
Sadness of the summer I did not attend,
I want to
Reminisce.
