A Graceless Sailor
Listen to poem:
Written: January 1st 2024
____________________________________
Inverted into berth
back to the coast
braced by a breeze
with hurricane fury
we cluster in the crevices
stroll on shattered shards
return to the abyssal realm
at last able to sail free.
The fog is currently lifting
we're floating out to sea
utters crow cries on its perch
will assist us in steer
astride of a mermaid
out in turbulent seas
calling me constantly
once again at home.
Wood composes my limb
my body has aged
ages oxidized the skin
sailing by themselves
carry me, carry me
from water that freezes
return to my family
shielded from the ocean.
Lay down my body
cover me with satin
lost their zenith
with the azure, rolling sea
perform each step again
conjure me back to my bed
once again, at home
to at last find peace.
