atlantic ocean – sunrise in a small city

mar

over the longest mountains
rifts
canyons
and abyssal plains
we sailed

harbor at sunrise — (explorers and settlers from across the expanding atlantic ocean traversed massive undersea mountains, canyons, and plains)

for now

grenville
taconic and acadian
allegheny
hills rise in waves from mirovia
tethys
rheic and iapetus and atlantic.
alluvium settles.
every waters edge shimmers for now
from always

inner harbor at sunrise — (the inner harbor is at the western edge of a coastal plain of sediments that began accumulating 145 million years ago, in a river valley back-flooded by the atlantic ocean)
