shackled to the landward

 shackled to the landward


it is landed

one last heave me hearties

and we have it


rope the beast sea

chain the ropes soaking

rust the times gruel


small chain the large chains

small rope the big ropes

anchors aweigh


the hostelries aglow with tales

of the anchor-less shanties

the quayside’s passing night

of the high spirits

this one high and dry thought

cast adrift no more
