Prophet

I'm sitting here on my island
There's a nice view, no matter where you sit.
The choices of where to sit
are infinite, I don't think
I've sat in
one place twice
yet.

There are people on my island,
I'm not alone.
I wasn't the first here
either.
Kindness
greeted me
when I arrived.
They wash my
clothes
for me
and dry them.

You find the odd serpent here,
in a way.
But fewer than you'd find
out there,
I think.
I got bitten once,
but nothing
came of it.

They say I have
3 months
here.
Just until
I feel well
enough
to carry on.
