            I drew in the sail

            a curtain trailing

            rolling it till it fit

            neatly in its bag

            and started the engine.

            It was a fair night

            light chop, nothing to frighten

 

            someone watching the stars

            and the mast lights

            or the darkness of land

            beyond.  After we got

            there who could say?

            It wasn't an important

            ending it always ends

 

            that way and for much 

            the same reason.

            Then in its slip

            it was mere fiberglass

            and wood not the 

            stuff of stars 

            and unending dreams.

 

            It was left back

            there and neglected.

            Slipping over the side

            I would see 

            another point of view,

            you looking about

            and not finding me.
