standing with you on the ancient deck
on our honeymoon, I stared
at a bent horizon and you with the bristled hair,
then suddenly, we were dumped under sea
laugh if you must
but that was the toughest part

what was the force that swirled me
onto the sand, in between your legs?
a whirlwind growling in gray rain
while we arose Chaplinesque
laugh if you must
but that was the toughest part

on this island, a doubled presence
you and me like the knife and fork
plus a fish hooked on your adventurous rod,
now stranded on the beach
laugh if you must
but that is the toughest part

change is natural but not like this
while I gather fruit, branches, and cook
useless, you eat like a horse and smirk
when I say, after the rescue, I’ll get a divorce
laugh if you must
but that will be the easiest part
