HEART OF OAK

From the hive of his safety,
The brat blubbers by the bridge above the ship
Of his future; with self-criticism he looks
Upon the flock of molecules of love and hate

Brat who watches the ship drift away from reality –
Horizons stretch beyond the mountain peaks
And the ship deletes the crimson air
Like a feather in despair

From the hive of his safety,
The brat intrigues himself with a solitary ship in rusty rivers
Eyes closed yet vigilant for the pictures
Of the past always roam the grounds of the brat

From the hive of unwritten safety,
Untamed brats blubber for the ships of
Future which never come below the agelong bridge again
To make ‘em realize that hope can never wane.
