She's still stuck there
On that island
The seagull's gone
Gone forever
The island was of
Her own devise
Her own demise
Lost forever
A whale has beached itself
It watches her with pitied eyes
She huddles afar
In the center
The whale asks if she's alright
It has become bloated and ill
She lowers her head
Pretends not to hear
She hopes for the crash of the waves
To clamor and clangor and deafen her ears
She hopes for the reach of the tide
To spill forth and claim her to hide
