This Little Buoy

This little buoy
Between the rocks
Bobs and clangs
In gentle swells

A narrow draft
‘Tween reef and land
One red one green
The channel marked

At night
Her light
Bright green
Is seen

Green on the port
To find the port
Green to starboard
Then sail the seas

The land rolls
Like waves across the sea
Like the grasses
In staccato breeze

And there go we
Like sailors
Over the rolling land
Into unknown worlds

Concrete and glass
Water
Calm below
Crystalline wisps above

Amber and rouge
Blue and black
Skyline betwixt
The sky and sea

Blinded by the rain and fog
Tossed by the wind, adrift

With her sails all torn
The great tall ship
Her tiller shorn

She broke her back
Upon the stone
