Tempest
Our old sailing beauty
Yaws dizzily in her century-old duel with a drunken sea
Tossed again between spiteful, wind-tormented waves and a leaden sky
Ancient planks hewn from a long-forgotten forest shriek out in pained falsetto
Drowned by the roar of a pitiless ocean
Above, frigate birds streak like Stukas on unfolded wings
Dark phantoms wheeling between clouds darker still
In riotous rendez-vous with the storm
