Rolling boat
   on roiling seas:
      heaving and creaking
             &
      pitching and listing --
 Decks shifting between 
   untenable states,
 Crew tying in,
   tethering to what might
      become the anchor around 
      their collective necks,
   pulling them all to the depths -
      'til the last bubble spills 
      upward from a nostril.
