The rain drove everyone inside just me
on deck at midnight watching glowing clouds
obscure the city ringed by mountains
…………………………………………………….sea
and lightning moccasins wet engine loud
tired wanting sleep and shivering but not
to miss this not to miss the hissing waves
or not to miss this life and all my thought
on now and not the things I always crave
like women cities things to be explored
or leaving sadness just a vanishing
around a point lights all misting away
the coast and time moving off to starboard
to port an emptiness steel vibrating
mind vibrating alone and on the way
