As I Lay

.

  In the forecastle 
           I lay

Mine vision as I lay
           true
          is you

           as if
             us
       in a castle

Just wanted thank you for using forecastle in a poem. I have many good memories of working in the forecastle onboard the USS Nimitz 1983-1987. Nice writing.

Still drying to get under its skin ... yet from outside, I'll say, it seems so secure within ... the space from which you write to our delight.
