Unspoken Direction

by Alisa Js


my ship has sailed
and is surely out of bounds by now
for too long have I waited
on this sinking dock,
my angel of mercy
is mute.
follow the bouncing ball
to nowhere ...

it's more in what you don't say
than do
that screams volumes
into this chilly night air,
thoughtful hesitation
curious apprehension
showing me my place
without an unkind word spoken,
genius...

...mmmm, i like the tightness, and yet loose in its delivery, not happy not sad, just sorta real...
