two oarsmen

true defense safety
permanent work mud flat
battle second
wharf pile granite footing
scow pile driver lighter crane
sea wall concrete tremie
steam pile saw levelling dredge
dive bell store
masonry laying stone
filling
stone fort old type
young absent being
fair face devastation

fort carroll at sunrise
(fort carroll was sold by the state of maryland in 1958 and is still privately owned)

for coca-colas

ghostly eyes linger about posts
helicopters of human torso hover
immaculate hands rise skyward earthward
mouths shout bombs prayers hailing echowire
over bloody knees aching thighs tumbling
shoulders concrete into ribs frozen mud
unite us to bury
thunder galloping home

goal posts at sunrise
(texans became colts at memorial stadium in 1953 and champions on national tv in 1958)
