Heeling Over To Copulate

Based on a real event and observation

Healing Over to Copulate

A forceful gust healed my catboat

So I grasped a windward hold.

Beneath the boom amorous sailors

Held fast in close embrace.

White water overwhelmed the combing.

Wet clothing cold to flesh was clinging

The drop keel hummed the hull

As the bodies of my shipmates trembled

Clinging each to each in ecstatic fervour.

The helm hardened.

No time to furl, disaster fast approaching.

Beneath the boom male arches over siren

Both bodies stretch out

Quivering,

The iridescent gold is shifting

A pair of blue and silver dragon flies

Balanced on translucent wings

Make love.

Ooops, knocked down

Capsized

Floating.

The pair

Knocked up

On eight wings

Flying!
