One.
Lonely man in a vast ocean
Waft with salt.
Intense heat strokes the breast
Like a solarflare.
Praying for the singular cloud
To pass the sun.
Two.
No water.
No food.
Forced drink ocean water.
Don’t know what eat.
Storm coming.
What to do?
Three.
Rock, rock, rock.
Wave crash with shock.
Ocean not good drink.
Food? No.
Wonder when food.
Ate ear.
No know what do.
Hope.
