To become unsinkable is a pledge
You make with your one name, your one
Home port, as the Coast Guard dictates
Within 33 characters
To let bodies fall like anchors
Tether the rescue team idle
Lose drowned things
Waterlogged and sodden
Lovers and brothers
These lost things are irreplaceable
Their lone names and homes
But to grieve and outlast
Is to stay onboard, ring the bell
Day is Done
