nots



i will not devulge
further secrets, some i
keep distance
from self, tie them
in knots baffling even
a seasoned gob

no, not possible
the lifting of this anchor
be it true
jacks buried
in ghastly cove hold
key to this coded
roping? some

say
i swallowed
this tale with a lost city, some say
the hemp
unknowable

some say
not
