Mystery man, shadow man
is what they used to call him.
Him a thin whistle at dusk,
the latest three day millionaire
returning from sea,
like his father,
to die again
over and over.
Shallower sea back then.
Better cut cloth
broader smiles.
Now, after too many
rope marks and
twisted bone on metal
life comes mixed
with drink, sharp curses
and dark corners.
