Of Island That No Man, Woman Was

Of Island That No Man, Woman Was

A Poem by Onoma

Of island that no man, woman was...
save for.
In want of becoming...their ground
withstood...taken with them.
If pressed, as so pressed, an 
out-of-body aerial view of that patch
wholly centered.
A voice that repeats on oneself, in
concert with self minus one.
As a series of shores with no resolution
but the end of a wave.
A wishing well that sunk an undiscovered
continent at the center of the earth.
As the adieu confesses thus: if my island
were a giant tablet...the commandment
would be raised and dropped manifest
to ripple a lesser wave.
