Benjamin Lyrics by Anna Smyrk
Benjamin tells me
The boat for the mainland
Comes at five, or at six
Or seven
Or sometimes at eight
He says, “Wait
And you’ll see when it comes.”
The light starts to fade
And he switched the generator on
Benjamin’s island is just two k’s around
Circled with mangroves
And water like slow liquid glass
In the past
His great-grandmother swum
These very same waters
And so will his children to come
It comes
Comes when it comes
Benjamin tеlls me
The name of thе island
Means a break from the wind
A place to take shelter at sea
As for me
It’s a port of safe call
I’m halfway across
And I’m scared I won’t make it to shore
It comes
Comes when it comes
