Like a Phoenix from The Ashes…

…still on the seabed

They could only put me in this coral shape

Leaving alone and waiting for me to die

Among other oceans’ creatures

Dry, sticky, and stubbornly attached to the ground

Without a purpose to drag it away

Even an inch from the originally designated location

Usually afar from the humans’ possessions

Now being held by and in charge of the sea

The most powerful master

Casting its anger like the worst chapter

Of the book

Being read, yet putting off among other

Points of view in the story

Secretly hidden from the world, yet in the same time knowing

About its worthwhile path to redemption

Now turning the wheels of one’s satisfaction

Into a great misery

Barely allowing to think in the state of an enormous hunger
