Anchored
so we died a few times
hinged to rural floors, pointed doors north
across winter harbours where ships
breathing dark water
lay in wait. Swimming through (your) eyes
seeking light, thirty years a night of
fragmented sun until mornings became
unbroken. Winds unwinding storms,
plugging holes in turbulent skies,
steering parched arms
to anchor.
