Pilgrimage #27: To the Source

There is a ship they call the Due Return

built into the high ceilinged room.

Named after another ship, it is made of the shiny

things otherwise left forever in the drawer.


There is a cave there where a teenage girl the ushers say

is a hologram that plays guitar; she sings songs of the water

and the memories of former sailors held captive on this

ship of shiny things. All things return or remain

in bottles for scatter later. Touch the star shaped

knob. Take care not to look directly into the light.
