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.
