Crow‘s-nest

all morning

bending beyond the storm.

After the albatross leaves

the lurching

of our crow‘s-nest.

Leaving it there

the name plaque

in the ship‘s bones

After the albatross leaves

the lurching

of our crow‘s-nest

Ship‘s rails

a yellow balloon

just fits to our pace.

Aegean cruise

grandmother‘s story

we sail on to learn.

Tropic isle

in the sinking sun

it‘s gulls I hear.

Sunset isle

palms wave

the gull‘s goodbye.

Tropic isle

a crow‘s-nest falling

from the horizon.

in dreams about dolphins

guiding our way…

Mediterranean cruise
