Murk

August 4, 2005

there’s wild water in that
brown-eyed whirlwind

I must confess, if it were any
differently I would rescind.

my sails will snag upon her force
but I know it won’t take me far.

for I have only traveled these
waters mapped by other stars.

troubled waters
in a different time

troubled waters
these will be mine

she’ll dash me further
than I’ve been before.

she’ll throw me further
than my plans in store.

vigilance asunder, my oars
will trace her violent tow.

brown-eyed whirlwind
you have me now.
