Gull Envy

put me on a sailboat
let me ride the winds of falling darkness
Find a star to tease a memory
Let it rain as the prow dances
swallow hot buttered rum
from a bouncing thermos
Watch the coast light up the clouds
Let the weather take me home
for at least an hour or ten
Tasting freedom at its finest
