Beauty and Beast

Crinkled and cracked hands toss the line to the dock
Crank the main to the top
The crisp autumn winds takes jenny by the hand
White caps extend across the water
12 knots flying
The gasping sound of air breaking under a hull
This wind driven day could be no better

At three PM it must have been tomorrow
Surely it could not be this adored day

The rest easy blue sky with smirking gray clouds, gone
Black sky with thorn covered stems of light
Shattered glass ice is directed by the surgeon wind
Dropping skin confetti to the deck
The stampeding heart takes aim at the main
Fear driven arms scrapping and yanking on the main
The bucking boom relentlessly trying to give that fatal blow
At last the main blinds the bull
With the last of life's failing energy the ties to jenny are cut
With a volcanic eruption the wind takes jenny away

The knees clash against the bow
Defeated blood makes the bow it's portrait's canvass
A ear punishing roar vomits from the front of the bow
Red buoy eyes look stories above the mast
At last sight a white salty avalanche
