BOTTLE IN THE SEA

BOTTLE IN THE SEA

Message in a bottle
poem to the unknown
It will drift
to a future country
It may get lost
in the labyrinth of currents
It will cross
moving forests of kelp
the deep ossuaries
the thousands of mirages of ports
the swallowed-up stories
under the myriads of stars
He who reads it will make the voyage.

JACQUELINE SAINT-JEAN, France
