Missing in Action

Into a family of strange women he entered
through marriage contract ever lasting
Their husbands departed either mangled,
drunkards or senile.

One brother-in-law, last seen in a visit to the Island,
hardly spoke, hidden under a pile of pillows.
Months later, he was reported running naked
through the village towards the ocean,

from which he has yet to return,
and most likely won't,
hoping he found himself
another Calypso
