Seafaring Haikus

Sunrise at Sea past salt sight sun rises rubs the whitecaps from her eyes stretches forever # 34 air heavy with spice salt crisp on my lips and mind eyes blinded by stars Exile callous bejeweled I’m keeping secrets hidden salt upon my skin Gulf of Mexico watching the moon set sinking into the Black Sea orange slice slowly Red Sky at Night Sailors delight night waking in strangest place I did it sideways #35 now too long at sea always another gangway now too long on land Port of Call if my ship comes in sails slow into your harbor will you be waiting
