Ship
Cruise ship jewel lit like
summer afternoon
we hold hands
our stifled song shakes out in
waves splashing pebbles
You let go
suspending breath, say Listen
can you hear them?
All my heart’s songs
cascade and I look
to open sea ready
to sail like a fully-lit
ship eager for pelagic swells
all exotic ports and their sounds
