A heavy anchor dropped
into a pale sea cursed with debris
stirred up by the low tide
Passing close to starboard
a groggy woman lay in a life raft
her fingers resting on a gun trigger
Before moving further into her space
the rescuing crew had to check
the sunburned woman for life signs
As though waking from a bad dream
the woman presumed lost weeks
ago – suddenly became aware
