Observe My Signals

I sign up for all the extra work I can.
I holystone the deck like a ship’s boy.
I can’t really stand to be alone.

No man is alone on a ship.

I know it.
But I do feel alone.
All the time now.

after the dive it was exponentially harder to lift him

and exponentially more urgent

but no one was ready on the line
