Love Poem: The Affair

The Affair

Bird-girl, gull,
The new Boatswain's wife,
Remember when
they'd call you
the Girl of the Wandering Ship,
the pale fire of the night?

S.S Montblanc,
White Mountain,
I've climbed aboard...

And made love
to sparks,
explosions, powder,
Hundred people dead
in an hour,
victims of extramarital
affair.
