Ghost Ship

Yell Sound, Shetland, 2014, by R.A.D. Stainforth

Ghost Ship

A ghost ship sails the sea
harrowing into the future
with furled clouds for its cover.

Black eyes square and round, thin line of mouth,
its nostrils flare, white foams its stern
as it moves steadily forward,

like a dragon's head with its tail
curled curiously under the sea,
it challenges me...

I do believe we shall see just what truth there is of the old Mighty Ghost Ship wandering the sea!
