Know the signs
Between the flags
On any ordinary day
Means traffic lights
Warning you 
Do not pass this way

A buoy in the storm
Mollusc island
Bobbing in deep blue
Someone to hold onto
Regardless of
Turbulence of waves

Deployed all receptive
Sensors listening 
For escape pod
Down to the wire
Launch sodden sea bottom 
Breath of salt air saves

Warm bodied creatures
Gravitate easy as breeze
Silent staring on horizon 
Unison is what we crave
Debut on pontoon parade 
Birds eye view amazed

Cohabiting cocoon 
Licks salty tips
Of fingers
Like fish and chips 
Living for the day
