               Atlantic (Garden City: Doubleday & Co., 1961)
a weep
at the forehatch
over
my berth
~
thank heaven
& martin tickell
for the trysail
~
take off my boots
& trousers together
& put them on
together next time
~
hullo —
she’s tacked
herself
& boxes
the compass
again
~
now for a cup-of
& position-fixing
by radio beacons
~
1630 hrs
written
over
a cup
of tea
in
a bag
which you
hang
in the
cup
& pour
water
on
~
found to my
astonishment
yesterday
was friday
~
dropped
my barometer
tonight
& bust it
an old friend
~
lost the red
gash bucket
overboard
looked very cocky
sitting scarlet
on the surface
sorry
to see
it go
~
no
vital
parts
washed
over
board
~
knowing exactly where
is not so essential
in the mid-Atlantic
~
a kettle flies across the cabin
