I really like this, but I am not sure if you meant Ziegler, the cartoonist, the opening lines would suggest it is. If so I am not familiar with his work, perhaps that is for the best. Whoever the dedicatee, this is a stunning work. I look foward to reading more of your poetry.

great use of metaphor, the boat as a vessel as a body.......'maybe lay upon the land ' rather than sit....signifying lying interned.........danced instead of did dance.........but these suggestions taken with a grain of salt makes this a no better poem than it is.....a good and image and emotion evoking poem which made me think of sailing and aging as one thing.
