[New-Poetry] poems by others: George Oppen

[JforJames at aol.com]

Squall
 
         coming about
When  the squall knocked her
Flat on the water. When she came
Upright, here rig  was gone
And her crew clinging to her. The water in her cabins
Washing  thru companionways and hatches
And the deep ribs
Had in that  mid-passage
No kinship with any sea.
 

--George Oppen
