Sea Dust (II)

Aboard the Staten Is land ferry boat John F. Kennedy
In Upper New York Bay, reflecting on the vanished
9/11 structures, one dusk, 2001

There is no time on the water
Only presence - odd, because the water
Takes instruction from the past. When the water
Bunches, puckers, a xillion zillion lips, the water
In its lullaby disguise drowns fate, the water.
