Gone Fishin’

...He loved to cast a line and lay
  crab pots off the rocks down the bay. 
I would tag along for the ride
       and hope Tangaroa bless the tide

Echoes Of The Silent Shore

...How can I sever wolf-waves from the selfish sea?
I ache to cut the rogue from the relentless flow
his crest —swelled in high rise on testosterone tide—
