like sailboats

six years lost
looking for a way back to shore
she embarks to the unforgiving ocean
with wishes in hand like sailboats
on a family cottage lake.

six years lost in wreckage,
depression and darkness
a woman in a single bottle
of wishes ungranted by the thousands
leads herself home.

"there's no place..." she says
as she takes off her jeweled red shoes
"...better than this"
