Grease stains fade on my cotton cuff Coffee steam rises, strong and rough Shift ends quiet, the grill goes cold Harbor wind blows a tale retold Cobblestones slick with brine and rain Lantern light flickers, shadows wane Silver case warms in my calloused palm Needle spins free, finds its steady calm True North points where the gulls cry high Salt wind bites but the stars don't lie Silver face catches the pier's pale glow Watch the dark waters ebb and flow Dad gave it me on my tenth birthday Said it'd guide when the skies turn gray Brass hinges squeak like the diner door Holds the shore like it did before True North points where the gulls cry high Salt wind bites but the stars don't lie Silver face catches the pier's pale glow Watch the dark waters ebb and flow Fog rolls thick, a wool blanket dropped Horns blast low, the rhythm stopped Panic rises, throat tight and sour Compass needle holds the hour Breath returns, the fear gives ground Feet find purchase on the wooden round Dawn bleeds pink through the harbor haze Trawler engines hum a low phrase Coffee thermos, stainless and dented Compass clicks shut, the dark repented Back to grill, the bacon sings Regulars laugh at the jokes I bring Pocket heavy with silver weight True North holds the morning straight True North points where the gulls cry high Salt wind bites but the stars don't lie Silver face catches the dawn's first gold Steady now, watch the day unfold Needle settles, points to home Salt on fingers, finally home
