I wrote this poem while on this trip.

Poem: To Die At Sea.

If I were to die while I am at sea, cursed be the ship that holds onto me.
Curse it so that it might never
claim the sole of an other

If I were to have a burial at sea, cursed be the waters that cling onto me
Curse it so that it will never
entomb the body of an other

Cursed be the fish that pick at my bones, curse them so that
they should know.
I wish them to know the joys of land, so they might one day crawl out on their hands!
Leaving behind the deep, dark as night
for stable ground covered in light.

If my body should float to the surface.
Curse be the birds that land on my carcass
Curse them for abandoning a perfectly good tree, to feast on the parts that belonged to me.

Last but not least send word to my lover, tell of our tales in hopes she recovers.
But no curse for her as she weeps and she wails, for this is the curse of loving a sailor.
