We were secure in our lifeboats
As we watched the Titanic go down,
A victim of ice, design and hubris.
The band played to muffle the screams
To steady the hand and quiet the children
We endured the trauma,
We said our goodbyes,
We mourned so many passings.
There’s nothing to be done
But complete the journey
As best we can
And leave them to their fate
While we await our own.
Palimpsest
