Farewell to Seafaring

Megan Mealor

And then no more wagers
lost to shimmering foreign waters,
no more golden doll-faced doxies
clad in spicy salsa dresses
stalking the salty, stale sailors
straggling in from every one
of the seven surly seas.

We survived the cannons
raging just beyond the coral,
the vast plush of violet sky
beating with fresh-born stars.

We were dazzled by the
smoking aurulent sunsets
and spectral black whales
thunderous in their massive grace,
exonerated by the quarter-moon,
enraptured by the soul of Belisama,
goddess of fire and crashing lights.

Carpeted in sonnet-sewn mist
and twilight-netted awnings
we watched the ruthless sunrise
execute preemptive constellations
memorized every transient tomorrow.
