won’t you be borrowing from the ocean
and giving it trouble and noise
it was in Betty Crocker’s book of potions
for rehabilitating warboyz
the phantom valentine was unwritten
can we multiply
the look of a sailor smitten
and call it to testify
a blue dragon paints
a portrait of charismatic
thief and saint
once so on edge and now so pragmatic
set the heat to scorch
leave a beloved scar
think of memories from the front porch
when the sailor was pirate of our hearts
