Sailor's Reply

(a reply to Siren Song by Margaret Atwood)


There is nothing I would like more 

Then to splinter my bones on the sharp rocks

If it will save you


If you need help, 

I can be--no I must be

The one who can save you


Even if the proof of the failure of every man before me

Lays skewered on the sharp rocks below me

I know in my heart

I will be the one to save you.
