Rhyme Scheme: A BACDAA EFGH AIJKFLM FF N| The trawl of unquiet mind drops astern | A |
| - | |
| Great lucid streamers bar the sky ahead | B |
| bifurcated banners at a tourney | A |
| light alchemizes the brass on the bridge | C |
| into sallow gold | D |
| now the short northern | A |
| autumn day closes quickly | A |
| - | |
| the thin coast | E |
| of grey Norway is it or of Russia | F |
| distinguished only as a formal change | G |
| in the pattern of clouds on our port side | H |
| - | |
| on the deck the strung lights illuminate no | A |
| movement but the sullen swill of water | I |
| in the washer but the unnatural way | J |
| dead starfish and disregarded dabs swim | K |
| in the strict seas surging through the bilges | F |
| and out A fishgut hangs like a hank of | L |
| hair from the iron grill in a pound board | M |
| - | |
| brighter now that the sun the fishfinder's | F |
| green bleep catches the skipper's intentness | F |
| - | |
| and the trawl is down is out is catching | N |
