A NEW ELBA Out at sea Invisible things Keep me company A spirit A cool breeze A new moon Could have been Memories of you Too soon My heart pumps air, my compass spins This far from the shore Alone in my work, alone in my dreams Untaken, untransformed I plot, I row, I row, I plot Prepared for every divergence My decision isn’t urgent And comes as the sun slowly emerges I’m going to the place That can’t be seen
