The Sea Whispers the Pirate's Shanty Like a Requiem

the map was always wrong
and the only place their ship
was ever going to end up is
the ocean floor 

a chest filled with gold
emerald
and ruby
waits for a wave
to break against the shore
with the news that
no one is coming

with the sad
relentless truth
that if you're not a treasure to someone 
than you are no treasure
at all
