"captain's log"
this morning a miracle was mugged.
peace promised by heaven was detained,
then shaken outright¯
a steambillow god on rainy legs
stalked us & peered at us,
the men grew restless
the men grew bones from their eyes
& woke up with a grunt in their dank quarters.
even I sometimes can't believe
we're cutting through a planet
with a hull of a knife.
the cat has avoided the crew.
