Susan Woodrow Poet Monchielle Stanza

Mccoy's Island

Maybe, it will come true 
this long-lasting daydream
a controlled end – to lay
deep at its ocean base
like hulls that rocked my days~~~

Maybe, it will come true
On sailboat, ship, or yacht
The ferrying farrago
Journeying to the fathoms
Whittling the flesh to go...

Maybe, it will come true
Fate! Withhold sleep’s surprise
Send me blue propitious
when gentle ripples lulled
floating treehouse wishes~~~

Maybe, it will come true
Hammock-nodding with pines
In Nylon-sway cocooned
Wrapped tight in down; down, down
Down to yon's island boon….

(1/23/2021: '88 Sea Ray Sedan Bridge 345; DMS & 'Craig's Contest: Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep')
