the first meeting I sense
is the edgy note he carries
a whistling kettle on the burner
a survivor needs a screwdriver
to makeover a cabin glamour
but meets the hammer

come now and take over
pear or plum afford him some
he drums off frenzied impatience
for a man of steel situation
a fast deal is better than
slow healing that's overdue

the mother and child
sailed home to mountain penny
an empty hall didnt get as many
to rearrange deck chairs of
a twenty twenty titanic
hindsights aplenty
