We sailed
on a serene
silver river
to a
place
unknown,
unnamed,
unpopulated
uncharted
To discover
what we would
about the new world
we would claim
our own
and when
we skimmed
through the
billowing cloudbank
we were
suddenly
drifting apart
in
separate vessels
going
opposite ways
unmindful
unhappy
unneeded
unloved.
