Sails furled at the calm water bay
drifting toward port as ghosts of long summer
spent on seas with a will set to break us
A banner torn free floats by
‘Safe harbor is a myth’ in bloody letters
Still we drift on
and come to that city waiting
where the faces are hidden, eyes averted
where voices speak as if from a distance
pulling away from us—
the water’s edge before tsunami
Where everything is still like that
and silent
waiting for the horizon to rise from the dead
