Forsaken

It was last night
When the quarter red-disc moon shone
Right across the ocean…
That- I saw the water waves
As if undecided on which
Course to take.
And right in the middle
Of this ocean
Was a black boat
Whose engine had lost purpose
Yet her other faculties
Craved to be involved
For the ocean's currents kept swaying it
From side to side
For it had been forsaken.
