Poems and Prose #84 - Shipping

My spyglass extended,
I lean over the rail,
my back bent diagonal
by the north-heading gales
that bat at the waves
and buffet the sails,
squinting my eyes
while the rushing wind wails,
the water I ride on
crimped by subsurface whales,
their moans the sole recording
of these horizonward travails.
