Broadcast 2. Live inside the main house, having had to abandon ship for warmer habitation.

Indoor temp 30 F
Even with sections open clear to the sky, sails having torn free
In the windstorm of early December.
In the windstorm of early December.
A trudge through icy landscrape
Reveals
1/2" layers of ice
Creak creak CRACK pop
Under my weight
Deceptive in their woodenness
Creak creak CRACK pop
Under my weight
Deceptive in their woodenness
Reveals
Mud for miles
(Mud for acres.
Muddy Acres)
Under the ice
(Mud for acres.
Muddy Acres)
Under the ice
The crescent moon
Palpable
Growing
Serene against blue
Palpable
Growing
Serene against blue
Camouflaged in wisps of cloud
Boom boom boom boom
The persistent beat of a living earth
Under my boots
Pop POW pop POW POW pop
The violent flapping of the MotherEarthship's white sails
Someone's ready to set sail
Time to push off to sea
Full throttle ahead
Against a blanket of icebergs
Baby don't run aground
ALL HANDS ON DECK
SHE IS SETTING SAIL.
(the MotherEarthship sets sail)
