<b>To you <br />

I’ve made markings on the shore <br />
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You’ll have to go there, before <br />
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
the next time of high-tide, <br />
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you want to see it - <br />
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You know the sea will devour it <br />
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Ain’t that like Snapchat without <br />
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The electricity? <br />
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You have… Twelve hours, <br />
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Maybe?<br />
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
What?<br />
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You’re avoiding the beach,<br />
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You want to see it on the SnapMap<br />
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
While you commute on a public bus,<br />
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
And even then,<br />
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You might - might - decide not to give the SnapMap<br />
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Any attention,<br />
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You’re busy clucking at the bus-driver while<br />
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
He jerks the bus perversely along?<br />
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I don’t trust<br />
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You<br />
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Nor your fickle<br />
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Attention<br />
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
I- I’ll thank God<br />
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For the sea<br />
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For the sun<br />
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For the wind<br />
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For the sand
|
|
||||||
<br />
|
|
||||||
For the little child, shrieking in delight
|
|
||||||
<br />
|
|
||||||
As the waves roll in
|
|
||||||
<br />
|
|
||||||
I’ll pray to God
|
|
||||||
<br />
|
|
||||||
To make me his wife
|
|
||||||
<br />
|
|
||||||
We’ll marry, if He is willing
|
|
||||||
<br />
|
|
||||||
And then,
|
|
||||||
<br />
|
|
||||||
And then,
|
|
||||||
<br />
|
|
||||||
I’ll pray for you,
|
|
||||||
<br />
|
|
||||||
That you’ll have food
|
|
||||||
<br />
|
|
||||||
When you’re hungry
|
|
||||||
<br />
|
|
||||||
And water
|
|
||||||
<br />
|
|
||||||
When you’re thirsty
|
|
||||||
<br />
|
|
||||||
And then,
|
|
||||||
<br />
|
|
||||||
I won’t see you
|
|
||||||
<br />
|
|
||||||
I won’t be on the SnapMap
|
|
||||||
<br />
|
|
||||||
You don’t need to thank me
|
|
||||||
<br />
|
|
||||||
I’m your (unworthy) servant,
|
|
||||||
<br />
|
|
||||||
A hopeful wife of God,
|
|
||||||
<br />
|
|
||||||
Servant of God,
|
|
||||||
<br />
|
|
||||||
Child of God
|
|
||||||
<br />
|
|
||||||
(I don't mind being
|
|
||||||
<br />
|
|
||||||
A door-keeper in God’s house,
|
|
||||||
<br />
|
|
||||||
Either)
|
|
||||||
<br />
|
|
||||||
Not a lioness of God,
|
|
||||||
<br />
|
|
||||||
Sylvia Plath said she was one,
|
|
||||||
<br />
|
|
||||||
And then she committed
|
|
||||||
<br />
|
|
||||||
Suicide
