Heeling Over For Love ( Poem )

Heeling Over For Love
A forceful gust healed my catboat
So I grasped a windward hold.
Beneath the boom amorous sailors
Held fast in close embrace.
White water overwhelmed the combing.
Wet clothing cold to flesh was clinging
The drop keel hummed the hull
As the bodies of my shipmates trembled
Clinging each to each in ecstatic fervour.
The helm hardened.
No time to furl, disaster fast approaching.
Beneath the boom male arches over siren
Both bodies stretch out
Quivering,
The iridescent gold is shifting
A pair of blue and silver dragon flies
Balanced on translucent wings
Make love.
Ooops, knocked down
Capsized
Floating.
The pair
Knocked up
On eight wings
Flying!
