Reflection on Completion

Tightly knit threads

In the unraveling, they cry,

Like the quiet depths of a distant ocean;

And ships are swallowed,

Drunkenly laughing at destiny.

Let the casino never close, don’t let us unravel

Only we know how the story began

And we are the victims

 

This was originally part of a group poem that I wrote with two friends. These are my lines, removed from the context of the poem.
