Captain's Command

The Wheel is flying

through the space 

between

the mist and fog 

and the flesh of 

my right hand 

Matter against Matter

Particles of matter

Articles of flesh

Flesh to nerve-endings

Nevre-endings to brain. 

Sense the winds.

Taste the salt. 

Feel the ebb and flow.

Think.

-----

Action. 

Reaction. 

-----

The rudder shifts 

ever 

so slightly

The entire vessel turns

towards this subtle Captain's command

Wether we head to open waters

or beach ourselves upon the sand.
