NAPOWRIMO #12: SEA LUNGS

For 2011's National Poetry Writing Month (NaPoWriMo), Troy's Work Table is attempting to write thirty poems in thirty days without the help of writing prompts from other websites.

Many of these are still in some sort of draft stage, but that is the nature of the Work Table.

SEA LUNGS

How does soft tissue
sound as though timbers
rubbed by wet rigging
and then relaxed?

How does ship sail
without warm breezes
to billow the bolts
of Ecuadoran canvas?

How does tropic sun
burn so steadily
through the pink strips
of salted haze?
