1382

timber creak

sea tilt

mast sideways

birds freed

shipwrecked

voting

a quarreling

voting north south east

or west

captain died

remember when I quoted Cummings

on your mirror

in red lipstick

“nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands”

and remember

how upset you were

maybe ashamed and confused

like the time your dog

bit my leg

and remember all we did

was remembering

in poetry

in lines

in speaking

in holding

in kissing

in lovemaking
