Very nice alliterations and imagery, Lawrence. The reference to Homer
appears distinct and appropriate, possibly by way of Joyce. Is there a more
oblique hint at Milton also?
Take care and do post more!

In an earlier time I sailed
Out in full armor, but this
Afternoon with a light breeze
Coming from the north
And possessing my full rights
I let a burdened boat cross
Before my bow, falling off
Letting him take my place,
Veering, trying for a better
Wind further along.
I’ll sail whatever course this
Wind demands, never
Needing to win at merely this.
I won’t hear the winning horn
But urgently seek my long sought
Cove, Penelope there where
I once dived down to find
Her. Let others swallow
Their indignation. I’ll
Dive down unannounced.
