Lucy T 43 (codex am 07/9)

Lucy T 43
Lived in a palace
By a pea green sea

With ships of giggles
And sailors
Dressed in flowers

She sat content to be still
In whimsical silence
At the chiseled window

Watching
The sails fill and bulge
And the quickening wake

as the sailors grew smaller
And the softening giggles
Slipped quietly into dreaming

Until only the resigned waves
Constant and fluorescent
Rushed the dampening sand

Lucy T43
Lived in a palace
By a pea green sea

Upon which
Too far to see
Sailed ships of giggles

And sailors
Dressed in flowers
Dancing the hornpipe unconcerned
.
