65. Out at Sea

It was a path to peace
away from that war.

If nothing else,
the blood hadn't stained the sea's
bright blue expanse

Or that island far away:
the paradise to where she'd sent
her parents
just in case.

Now she was on her way to join them,

To leave the blood she'd spilt,
and had been spilt from her,
for a time, behind.
