Keel me
Into Io
Mountains grow and shrink
Between my legs
In the shape
If you
I melt stone
Between beneath and in me
That's why you're burning
Don't
You can't
Put out the fire
The fire puts out you.

Muscles burning, the barbarian summoned a burst of speed. "The ogre's gaining on us!"
"Not to worry." Ahead, the rogue slowed to a walk. "He'll #keel over soon."
"How come?"
"That wine I offered him? It was drugged."
"The—" He gulped. "The expensive-looking stuff? And we drank the cheap?"
"Yes! Maybe you're not irredeemably—"
"Uh." The barbarian's steps grew uneven. "I switched the bottles."

There is nothing left of the ship
After the storm. Masts and sails
Gone, everything above deck
Disappeared by the typhoon,
The sides shattered, the corpse
Of the vessel overturned and
Floating between the huge
Ups and downs of the restless
Swell, those interminable seas.
Only the keel remains intact
A dorsal fin hiding in the
Dark troughs and valleys
Waiting for its particular
Prey. The sky touches the
Water, and it explodes
In renewed fury.
Spine of sailors home,
Ploughing furrows through deep seas,
Reaches home - even.

Songbird's uncommon keel shape. It's much more swept aft than most keels I've seen on other boats, including other Bavarias. It looks a lot like the dorsal fin of a dolphin. I quite like it 🐬
The bottom of the keel extend below the saildrive and propeller, doing a great job protecting both from any lines or other floating debris. Perhaps this is why we've never caught anything worse than a plastic bag, even when under sail where the rope cutter wouldn't work.
