adrift

we are on a fishing boat,
bobbing like words
caught in Adam's apple,
trawling for ghosts 
gliding though a sea 
of mist and mercury 
with no motor, sail or paddle
as though this vessel floats
of its own deranged accord
between our charted island
-a long buried dream of gold -
and a long forgotten horizon
of the shoreline of our home.
