one for capt'n Jack
Out, further out
reaching out, further
and further.
Stretching out
onto the edge
and out
onto the plank.
Tentative steps,
along the plank,
out over the dark water
where the eyeless creatures
of the deep lurk.
It’s shaky out here.
It’s extreme danger.
One slip,
one fall,
one feels
the teeth of the deep,
and heart beating
retreating
missing
the thrill, already.
