last day had come
deadly ambush quickly
on the vessel wall
cracked - torn -
thunderous waves
drag boat fall
down to the ocean floor
humans become violent
race against death
reach an increasingly sketchy life
shake in fear
blow your breath for
the last time, shivering
the frozen wheel
broken compass needle broken
wallowing in
sea of blood, no more
maps, no more direction
the remaining are now howling
anxiety that the longer
more quietly
silence and silencing
In The Unfortunate Sinking Ship Bimas Raya II
Habe Islands, Merauke end of 1999
