The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."

As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

Eight bells on deck
the ancient wreck
turns in the fog
we down our grog

the Dutchman flies
and the soul sighs
with sails full filled
the phantom stilled.
