Late Harbor

My old friend still steals my gaze

though my harbor is filled with red boats
       
       longing to set sail

she has winds that will knock them off course

on some sunny days the winds favor

the sails, but ol’ hefty -that damned whale

       destroys the boats. 

hefty, that cursed whale, swallows

those boats and chokes them down, because 

he knows if they get to her shore

they will crash and burn.
