adrift in the gulf
the foundation sturdy
yet the isolation bent to your will
charted paths & clear waters served murky
hercules nor columbus ever dared to travel
the achilles too heeled for any to attempt
the travelers who try, dragged under the current
the isolation stacked casualties like trophies in show of contempt
the handle nearly retired with frost
what olympic skill brought pink to the pale
an eruption of beams, struck through a spring window
an intermission so startling, a black widow reweaving her tale
a fastening of no parallel
snow melted on green grass, a harsh winter reversed
how is it this enigma was uncovered?
the isolation became peninsula, suddenly immersed
forever winter, now sprouted her greens
hereby begins the cracking of frost
with no precognition, peninsula became land
but at what cost?
