The Sailor Returned from the Sea


-lines upon the finding of a lego man
(Zandvoort 2007)
he lies between the lip of land and brine
his shore is found and his journey done
as the sun dips down in this glad hour
all spill forth across the sand in joy

But

we watch as the waves drag him near
still the body of our hero rocks still
too late the tide has his soul too late
a sailor not returned from the sea
