Heated to the gills
Took Providence the light cruiser to Hawaii from San Diego.
Had a picnic with the crew on the fantail
The ship photographer worked with me
Shit my friend and me looking by the crew
fifty hands on deck.
I should pull out that photo,
Value it for the time it was.
Now many years, fifty, later.
The time at sea with the navy.
Poems written on sunny days.
The smell of the sea.
.
Stretched out blue.
Comes home to me.
It sure do
Yes, it do.
