Heaved aboard-
lay flat on your back
on swabbed and
polished deckboards
and watch the white
sails fill
As we sail into dawn,
red and yellow banners
counter intuitive,
streaming ahead of our
godspeed.
Unwrecked,
rescued,
lifted from fossil sea
Powered by wind
to cut wine-dark waters
homeward
bound roped and rigged
And freedomed

Thanks to Leatitia for her comment on Wreckage, which prompted this.
