One hundred nautical miles

Here’s the start and end of a poem I wrote in 2002.

This is its first time getting an airing (even a virtual one).

One hundred nautical miles

Scarlet
star lit night
becalmed
in phosphorescenced waters
…
up on deck
lying side by side
under an ink velvet
silvered canopy
one hundred nautical miles
already between us.
