Poetry Maybe #45: Captain of Six Hearts

oh merciful creature
please keep the captain
of my six hearts
from sailing to 
trashy harbors
without buried treasure

Steer his sails 
far from 
majestic
prisons where
he might be kept
from windows and docks
doors and clocks

Keep the siren's throat sore and
their helpless minds
always puzzled
and unable to 
execute one good verse
