the undone poem

To be honest I cannot find
A momentary word that rhymes
To plug the leak in my poem
Long enough to sail her home

And so I bail and toil and sweat
As her nails come loose from wet
And her bow turns towards the ground
To where ever unborn poems are bound

still I can’t help but feel regret
after all this pain 
     I will forget
  her name, 
and let her slip into the brine

to be forgotten for all time.
