Retrospection.
The shores, the boat refer to reality.
One always ready to hurt in broad daylight.
The powdered glass- the insults, remarks,
discriminations, shamming, the perceptions
of what is beauty, of what is right, wrong,
the flames that don't die.
The judgments that don't falter
to stab where it hurts most- the heart.
And the boat? The other reality
The weak, but honest one.
A decaying bundle of joy
which pushes up off the shore,
To a more beautiful river of lies,
of impossibilities.
