He sings his songs,
Six pieces strong:
A coin balanced on each eye.
The lull, it repeats
With trills just sweet,
What a peacful way to lie.

Small Waves
You used to look
out over the harbour and tell me
about the boats waiting there.
You used to say
that they weren’t just vessels
for ferrying a person back and forth,
but vessels for transporting the lives of all the sailors
ever to have sailed,
worn into the salty residue on their hulls.
A lullaby to the ocean and its cast
of characters waiting forever for the last show
of the tour.
