She thought the voices
came from a party breaking up
along the shore
until men stumbled
into her kitchen
fresh water drunk.
Is a blanket pulled tight,
a clutched mug of coffee,
more powerful
than the freezing water
the near drowning
& desperate search for missing friends?
They gathered around her stove
first the Hibou crew then
the search party
between shifts on boats
sharing that space of warmth
that moment of safety.
