shining

The sea in my eyes as I crash

through the boombreakers the morning brilliant bracken.

Roughcaps and peakfloutings, the flaming captainshouts

and troughmapped eye-ache and the tight tongues of nailbite

sea wench winched by her long and slowly hair

over the fierce glint green…

The glitter in my ears and the noughts of latelove wet

upon me as I wash in the boneblur brew--

the bosunbroth the greyblue the white acre and the

slap

in the slit of time.

And sudden

the stream of white sailors spilled

lightning

on the night blanket shining.
