Oh Captain, Good Captain: Part II


by Ashley Poulter


As the waves rapped in query

I studied some words so sad

Words she likely knew

Words seemed so pale

‘That is not it, at all

That is not what I meant at all'

Is this what she thought?

She leaves needle and thread

Down here for dead

A fondness for familiar she had

Left only a title in her wake

Endcap
