gunnel laden
   net bulged
skipper's snaking pipe
down the dawn channel the little boat rolls
   on drunken hips
   two green lights
deckhand mending nets to aft

gulls follow dipping
    reflected rays
    first sun spearing dark depth
oily sheen glittering against
    the bubble chugged wash
far bank trees bristle warm winded morning

smoking up the break
   fagged muscles prepare
   last cockle cooking
blow lamp crusted jeans
   weathercocked on wages
   and a good days sleep
