‘It can redeem the dead,
Even if alive.’

The ‘funeral boat’ is the “escape
Pod” for the Sci-Fi movie I’m watching,
On a ship-out-to-ocean, traumatized,
Just finishing up.

What a turn of phrase! I
Love it! There is no other
Boat, at the end. Disembarkation
Is the beginning
Of a different journey.

‘Like a good book, finished, I sigh,
Because I’m alive.’
