[ CC ] Stranded

  
 
After a childhood spent    
ailing    
wailing    
railing    
    
she got busy living life    
delighting    
writing    
sailing    
   
When being shipwrecked    
on a god forsaken rock    
one must make due with what    
the Universe gives you    
but never settle for less---    
there's always an endless supply      
of abandonment's emptiness     
issuing forth as if fountains    
from us in volcanic spillings    
of mountainous mole hillings    
titanic; ships passing by
ignoring your imploring, erupting
tantrums spewing forth basalt froth
and ashen cloud declarations    
   
No man or woman is an island    
   
However, strand yourself on
one of your own making
