november breath seeps
through wool and resolve
punctures skin, turns marrow
marble white, singing ache
from trembling lips

a weary body leans
against a numb whitened grip
on spray slick rails, no other way
to drag the minutes into haven
than to count the waves
or pray

searchlight and starlight
lodestar and lodestone
pick your pivot point and
plot a tangent home

I liked this

but one word jumped out--"resolve". I didn't see how that word worked with what surrounds it. Being a punctuation person I would also love to see hyphens in numb-whitened and spray-slick. A good poem.

What a treat.....

.......to find this here this morning. A perfect invocation of winter at sea. Pity the sailor or the fisherman plying the Scandinavian shores.
