Find a message
in the bottle of regrets
brought at your feet by the mourning tide.

Loose yourself
in the smudge of ink
left by a stranger lost as you are.

Stars already blinking
their yesterday light
upon your little island;
castaway
in the oceanic darkness.

Let the panic
fill your bloodstream,
let it steal your breath.

Wait 
till the first line comes,
on rocks
it breaks.

Listen, 
speaks to you
the voice of a mermaid
sweet and terrible
like the waves.

Forgotten by the world
trust the sand
with impossible letters,
trust the water
with impossible dreams.
