A collage On the left, an image of a tempest storm at sea. On the right, my poem Atrocities Worries Intentions Obligations On this leg of the voyage Art bunks down in steerage Expression lashed to the deck In the fury Of concurrent Hurricanes Typhoons Tsunami My clothes soaked in salt and sick Sliding, helplessly Bow to stern Reaching for purchase Of the helm Each time I roll past Gods, my fate is in your hands J.
