the gatekeeper's boat
1. distant

She sees many people:
many sinners, many sins

And many innocent people
swept by jealous tides.

All of them are strangers
in a world that's drifted far
from her time.

It's not a comfortable breeze
like the sweet, unjudging sea
because even the mountains judged,
even the people still judge

But it's been so far,
and so long…
She's removed, she thinks.
She is. Removed
