sing the swoon,
a sailor’s bounty,
brash with brazen
breath,
bold lyrics bought
beneath the moon
half sliced by a
swash,
buckling under
awash with a mighty
tide, the undertow
pulling, the sea
weeded, and laps
of foam, pounded
bam bam bam
on the hull…..

you, the pirate
proud,
a penchant for
adventure, singing
outlawed tunes
aloud.

and we,
your audience,
standing barefoot
at the sound,
the shore, a rocky crag
around, orion’s belt
o’erhead,
thunderclaps
your applause……..
