wynken blynken & nod set sail on the
sea of thorns unconcerned with
the crashing waves and the
gathering dark. from the crow’s nest
i implore them to turn back – land ho!
i shout -but they float blithely on.
it is stupid of me, really; i should just
keep quiet. but i fear being afloat,
at the mercy of the wind and current,
having to rely on the fickle elements to
keep my head above water. i look at
the foamy blue. friend or foe? i ask.
can you be trusted? i am so heavy, so earth-
bound, how can i put my life in your hands?
without waiting for the answer my heart
races and my body becomes a tight fist.
you need only be still comes the response.
I will fight for you. wynken & blynken just nod.
