C. McAllister Williams  

 

     

 

        Quarter Master 

 

 

The sails cut the thing

& bled wholesale.

A set of scabbed

hands nailed to oars.

The moon a mute

knife carving the sky.

When filled with fluid,

objects will crack & swell.

There is no place

in the end for flags,

just ships & a strip

of nothing. The mast,

the world, water

& a little terror

flying through it.
