[ CC ] Titanic

  
Slate grey was the lumbering
leviathan slowly making its way  
chameleoned in a lowly mist---  
drifting through canal derelict  
with madness swirling, thicked  
across decked cargo unclaimed  
   
If one were to further inspect  
this is what you may have missed  
   
---a behemoth's hull full of sadness    
as it meandered unpurposeful---    
having nowhere in particular to go  
   
Ghost of a titan long ago    
unnamed
