I Wonder if... (for CvS)

I wonder if
Columbus dreamed

of
me

from aboard
the shaky ship
that sailed
the seas

was I
upon his
broken
heart
when
he
took the
world

apart?

Did he
see me
reflecting
in the Oceans
daring
to disband
the
shackles
of humans?

Or did
he ask
for
forgiveness
first

devouring
Paradises
with an
unquenchable
thirst?

I wonder
if Columbus
thought
of me,
as he
set forth
upon
unsailed
Seas

how much
a
change
to the
destiny
of me...


I console myself
remind myself
that he
was a disciple
of God,

that he could
not know
the
infinity
of love

but still
I wonder
if Columbus
dreamed of
me

as he set
upon the Seven
Seas

a little girl
on her grandmother's
knees
an island her home

...for
ancestors

never
to
be.

Forgotten.
