Item

Item: one crash land result of science.

One machine that behaves in defiance.

Item: one ship full of chandeliers.

One ocean that is not as it appears.

Item: one human in a greenleaf vest.

One prayerbook of continuous inquest.

Item: one nation forsaken by time.

One capital city true to its crime.

Item: one biro (writ this) brand name Quill.

One bird of a feather at the windowsill.

Item: one dream waking up to reality.

One reality slept off for sanity.

Item: one constellation of life spun.

One star with the full-on rage of the sun.
