The secret of the spell
free verse fable

I wanted to live and I wanted to leave:
an island
a house on the shore
a world apart
where no one
would have seen me.
My words
would have enlighten
the road to me
those words
I would have insert
into a bottle
as a new Robinson
respecting the secret of the spell
There would have been days
where they would have seen me
others where I would have stayed
there
listening to the sound of the waves with the
dancing selkies
out of that world
not belonging to me
and towards which I feel
jealousy.
