Sailor
We hush quiet
incantations into bark.
Ice-ready linens wade for hand-carved red
of tower-watchers.
Nights are for cancer, some for cant-burns.
A limb-bleached question for makers who made too many.
What did we make?
What lasso-lame message was there to breathe into?
Another tether to our ribs.
Whipping cord to shatter the morning.
