Fantasy with Christopher Plummer’s Captain
Tonight, yes to the boatswain’s whistle,
yes to the scold that won’t reach your eyes
& yes to that eye contact
while you pull off your gloves
& pin my arms back when we’re dancing
the Laendler. Yes to the clap of us
in the courtyard, yes to the path
of guitar-callused fingertips: neck,
collarbone, back… Yes to your lips
at my ear crooning Edelweiss.
O homeland of saltwater bodies
coming undone.
