True Blue

We threw our words overboard,

only to find that they’d become anchors,

and that our ship wouldn’t move;

then they became fish: we cast a great net:

around it they swam, and through;

they leap’d to the heavens,

were shimmering stars in the blue;

then one by one they fell;

they’re falling still;

and each that lands is true.
