Lightning flash

thrashing seas

which swell and crash.

Salty seas

tastes the life

of Tomas y Maria.

Silhouettes, mannequins

of an indifferent God

who doesn’t seem to care.

Their wooden raft

creaks and floats,

lashed together by

who they want to be.

But no on seems to care.

Each crash and fall

pushing them away

from drowning in indifference.
