A directional note sketches the draft of the ship, the water line, and an incoming sea wave as visual cues.

This looks like working material rather than a finished poem: a storyboard reminder about ship position and the force of the sea. Its value is documentary and compositional, showing how the manuscript keeps shifting between lyric writing and practical notation.

A rotated handwritten storyboard cue in three beats: 'Draft of the ship,' 'water LINE down,' then the isolated 'SEA WAVE,'. The trailing comma leaves it mid-gesture, a compositional note marking where the hull sits and where the swell will rise. Technical notation standing in for the disaster the manuscript is steering toward.
