startled
from a long dream waking

sensing
critical compass failure

observing
sharp bend in the river

visual cue confirms
flaws demand attention

spinning wheel starboard
time leaps twelve to three

needle jumps

northeast points true north
conceding course correction

ground collision
evaded

awakening at the helm
fresh air invigorates

percipience renews
glimpsing glassy sea
