Barnacle

Barnacled love
follows patiently through
flotsam and jetsam
ebb and flow
starboard and port,
marooned on a desert isle.

Barnacled love
migrates serenely with
whales and lobsters
terns and albatrosses
salmon and sailfish,
deserted and left to rot.

Barnacled love
studies intently with
an x and a spot,
maps and treasures,
tales and taboos,
bloated with lost adventure.
