Disemvoweled

Heaving salty neck,
Pulse, raging like a river,
He will be home soon.

I read beneath here that this was about a cheating spouse. That makes it much easier for me to understand and appreciate the description. congrats on your win, Luke.

Thanks Richard! Actually It's about a cheating spouse, hence the "VOW" in caps.
