Albatross

i was caught

before i caught you

i got taught

but not how i ought to

nothing is fair

nothing is free

nowhere to go

nothing to see

i have my burdens

plus, a fair share of yours

a salvation for one

or another lost

and lonely cause

lost and battered

by an endless succession

of ceaseless storms

of a bar lifted

and ever-changing norms

assimilation obliteration

punctuating alliteration

it dig

lightly got off he

Shock. Sharp. Short.

dark -

it all is

another day

another storm

another way

another dawn

i am the albatross

je suis l'albatros

ich bin der albatros

yo soy el albatros

not

lost

at

sea

…

just lost
