Sewol


No news             now                         no shift in cargo
            to capsize             what the captain left

before the kids                        kids             he said            
            head back to your rooms             to text            

from inside a stone                        I love you—
            we waited for you for days             by the shore

we hold up signs            backlit by candles           
            return to us our friends                        we wrote

return to us                        this paper boat            released
            with a message                        we love you—

divers saw                         three bodies floating
            through the window             of a passenger cabin

but were unable             to retrieve them
