Two If By Sea (v.02)

Some days are ripe for naps
and dreams of plans with friends
not often seen

Diamond wave tips cut horizons
blend wind and distant birds
make sounds, thinking out loud

Make cell phones fade to
forgotten blips
weaker than blowing curtains

Dipping blue green waters
the sun descends
our boat tossing
our hands together at twilight

We become willing pirates
slide into port, knives in teeth
wrapped in inky black
this moonless night

When we make land, to work
delivering lead, rendering fire,
pouring rum, tequila, whisky,
floating barrels of jerked meat

By daybreak back to running salt
never slowing to wave
hull cleaving a line
through watery hand-claps

digital pinch of alarm sound
as eyeballs surface
more dream nights becoming
