SEA WAIT

Waiting drives
some to drink
some men to madness
words
fists
knives

For a time
the long monotony
is broken

some look
for revenge

On a dark
moonless night
a shuffling of feet
a splash------

Then only
the throbbing of engines
the throbbing of hearts
and over the side
only the phosphorous sea
