beset
It was weird seeing him there
lying in that hospital bed,
not allowed anywhere,
tubes going everywhere.
He was beset.
But once again
went to extremes.
An expeditioner still,
he rode home
from the emergency ward
on his bicycle.
A vessel which is beset or ice-bound can drift for great distances, but is not in control of its path.
