Green Peas at Stake

Last Foam on the Wave

Don’t be scared…
Let the mutinous wave
manipulate you inside
the trap of its relentless arms
to keep you alive multiple times
until it explodes on the rocks
to abandon you there
to your maritime fate,
like a martyr,
so you witness a masque
with pantomime and dancing
to the seabirds’ cries
while you feel their beaks
piercing through
your nothingness.

That is when you discover,
the significance
of your bubbly life:
a short-lived emptiness
on one limitless ocean.
