Excerpt:
Winter Sky
To live aboard in winter is not so
Easy. Nothing stems the frigid flow
And cold creeps from stern to bow
And hail is hell on bright work, as is snow.
Yet here I am, with no place else to go.
Ice has stoned the waves, and I remain
Frozen in this fragile brittle plain,
Afraid to move, or never move again.
The bulkhead groans from the relentless strain
Of closure, of entrapment, in the main.
But still in winter is the yielding sky
That holds more stars than I can wonder why.
