Water swells over itself
like my lopsided belly.
The first day was calm,
an anomaly ready to shift pace
at any given moment -
a sly jaguar
in its element
in position to pounce.
Fighting it still,
I won’t dare lean in
as I prepare
to take the helm
directing us northward
into the wind.
Furious feet attempt to dismantle
the glass bottom
from the inside
voiding any will
to keep the peace –
a reminder that I was never
in control
to begin with.
