Algae hang
like hair in the stern.
The paint and varnish are worn from the railing.
Empty decks
like dusted drawers.
In the middle of corals
stands a decayed wreck.
20,000 years under water
her last resting place.
20,000 years
she has been under the water line.
Ref. There is only silence and the sea,
silent is the song of the birds here.
There is blood in the broken veins,
The Pacific Ocean is still as a grave.
Wrecked ships
have no name.
Unnamed passengers
on an unnamed road.
In the cabins, in the trunks
Strange and dark,
somewhere you could still hear
music.
20,000 ljö öd under water
his last resting place.
20,000 öð he has
stayed under the water line.
