Michael C. Petersen
On the margin in a hand, the second
 owned and operated vessel, a woman perhaps
 
 man wilt thou          and the ship in which all
 Mankind sails is landed safe        is risen again
                                                                      
 and again 
                                     safe on your port
 
 to no one in particular. Because
 
 sweetheart. What probably moves, removes me 
 from where you are      insistent tern 
 
 in the sea-vein, rides
 that ephemera    
 
 desire, or how we're wound 
 with it, wasting grounds, mainline & gangion, 
     
 draggle of the trap behind the having of anything 
 and then trawled 
 
 the hated version of oneself lashed to the preferred.
 Lineage. Capitulation of what you have.
 
 Mankind wilt thou risk 
                                      mankind can thou rise.
