Dunes

I just missed the boat
The one sailing through your heart
That unknown port
That mysterious sea
The wharf is long and lonely
The ship is out of sight
The sinking orange sun
On the whitecap waves
The rocks and sand and seaweed
The dunes and the tall grass
They say the ferry's discontinued
And I can't stay on the pier
I turn and turn
And I don't see any way particularly significant
