Blackbird
Taken from neighboring isles by tricks or threats,
these bodies that labor inland dream to be
floating cruciform on a placid sea,
the only milk-white froth their fingers know
the salty foam, the sun against their face
no more than an old acquaintance, and a gentle
current steadily drifting them back home.
