IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SWELL

How hard it is to keep the sail
in the midst of the gale,
with the feet on the ground,
sitting in the middle of the swell
that I imagine at this hour.
Spending sheets in the cold of the soul
how do I shelter the body that cannot be touched
in the solitude of walls
hospital room,
school,              job,
             family,
          grievance?
