yes i am still alive

here after five

and before the dawn

nothing is wrong

though the siren song rings on

like a rusty gong

soon it is gone

the creative vision

invites derision

an island out of reach

sailor swims for the beach

but the boat is sunk

memories he thunk

wishes he was back in his bunk

dreaming warm

away from the swarm

portuguese men o' war

tora tora tora

then nothing more
