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.
