Benten Island

“Such a lovely island—seems a shame for it to be out there,so I’ll just snag it with a ropeand take it away.”

So laughed a sailor from the North.

He’s lying, he’s lying, I thought.But as night grew darker, I began to worry.

And in the morning, with my heart racingI ran to the beach.

Benten Island was still there floating on top of the waveswrapped in golden light,green as always.
