FIFTH READING – ODYSSEUS ODYSSEUS Seventeen days is it now? Or eighteen. I lose count. I should have notched the mast every time it fell dark or at every dawn. But I’ve no knife or blade. Only these fingernails, broken and black. Still, I’ll cling to these timbers. Holding this crude rudder tight and using heaven’s glittering chart I’ve sailed in a straight line. I’m weary, and my mind drifts, but one thought – the thought of home – keeps my hopes high. Keeps me afloat. Landfall. Penelope. Although, off to the west, the waves seem to gallop and buck. Don’t say they’re stampeding this way. I’ll hunker down, pray that they pass.
