The Sound of the Breath

The pirate in me inhales the sea
discerning sky from water
like a beggar feeling the edge of a coin
with his teeth.

Today, like any other day,
I fuse with the light
and those who cannot give up
hope.

I will not abandon this voyage
until I have filled the belly
with the sweetest liquor
of this aging master
and the hearty laugh

of one who knows
everything.
