dry docked hiatus

to con a soul after sole
search light turns dim
lifting up empty arms

in woeful consolation
sweeping unrevealing
glassy surface, mirror
back abysmal esteem:

an anchor rusts lone-
somely stalwart by a
jetty pillar, seeking a
charitable eye's gaze

where wantonness of
-gale-force impunity
once ruled the seas ●

There is nothing sadder than an old ship in dry dock. This piece portends something for us all. Very well written.

I loved the image. Really makes you think. Good one.

A lonely write. Oh the poor wanton anchor.
