A fire on the Sea
December 16, 2019
If my cruise ship had sailed,
Just a bit longer,
Would the engines ruttle, and then,
Burst?
The right amount of spillage,
Would do the job,
Of setting the sea ablaze.
Pilgriming flames, searching for hearth,
On rough-cut waters
If the right amount of oil,
Could set the sea ablaze,
How many times, would
Mother Nature waste her breath,
To bring our beloved, deep sea back?

I am Leela, a student at Ruth Asawa SOTA in San Francisco California. Other than writing, I enjoy the delicacy of native flowers, and reading classic fiction.
