[bodytext] => Ship's cabin's place for further talking scene.
Men smoke cigars, drink whiskey speaking so. On captain's every sentence they do lean and seek the answers they do need to know, before soon they do leave, depart and go. From hold to captain's cabin was but a climb, walk aft, and descent through hatchway in the quarterdeck. Steps down ended at captain's door. Cabin seemed small to Huerra, not at all like rooms at the hacienda. A sheaflike bed with bottom drawers was against the right wall. At rear, between small squat windows looking out on to the ocean, was a roll-top desk. Toward the left, cabinet doors concealed unknown things. A round wooden table with three chairs filled the middle area. On the table was a deck of cards, whale oil lamp, and a dirty cup containing a cigar butt. It was a bare room, a room used for sleep. It was a room where the captain could spread out maps plotting navigation. Huerra wondered if the man had other interests beside the sea. Captain Thompson opened the cabinet doors withdrawing a whiskey bottle, cups, and cigars. He put them on the table. He threw contents of the dirty cigar butt cup out the open window. "Have a seat, gentlemen," he said. "Sorry about the whiskey. It's the only rotgut I've got. Cigars aren't bad though." Don Hernandez waved captain's apology away with a careless hand. "I've a case of Madeira you'll have for the long voyage back, captain. It's the best Madeira in all California and it should keep you good company."

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
