I'M Sitting Aft Poem by noel maddock

I'M Sitting Aft



In oilskins
Riding big dippers

Bowing to the
Foredeck up on haunches
Right hand loose on

Mizen stay
Left hand raised
Conducting

Leaning back from ocean wall
Forward shunted
Boots swirl in

Sacred water
Blood brother wild
Siphons through the scuppers

Elemental child

Balanced

Whence such bravura?
Whither such ease?
How did I lose it?
Why still the need?
