Run Silent, Run Deep


Bouyant, self- 
Satisfied with your craft 
Turning out shallow 

Wake after wake of far- 
Fetched mixed metaphors 
Under the sonar that seeks 

To find you out before 
You can escape, sneak 
Back now to the safe harbor
 
Of the ship’s slip, moored 
And with the fickle wind finally 
Gone out of your sails, fall back in- 

To that narcotic, 
Familiar deep, 
Sleep— 

You’ve earned your keep.
