Ode to a boat untouched by time

Between the visited and to-be visited
the embraced and the longed for
the place we came from and those which await
the before and after of wave-break and sunset
of dawning of death
love and solitude,
among yesterday’s archaeology
things traced and extrapolated
in the unexplored seabed of dream
amidst thought-shoals unnamed
and currents that dodge anticipation
there is a moment that invades sand
examines the woodwork of being
where madness unites with sanity
lover with lover
where broken dreams scramble into awkward image
where random clicks and structured browsing conspire
to reveal, hide, corrupt and erase,
designed for indescribable grip
intersection-scissoring
and cleansing
by abandonment.
