Have you ever wondered
how much the oceans carry,
not just physical things,
but emotions?

Think of this – pilgrims
unburden themselves in rivers –
these join others,
share and bear the burden – all
flow to the seas and oceans,
dumping
the lot into vast depths.
What happens,
to all that weight?
Where does it go?

The very thing happens
with pollutants – that’s why
there is an island of garbage
in the Pacific.
Are there also
islands of emotion?
