lancaster street – sunrise in a small city

warfields

trip on bay line ship
every minute thru and thru
packet on ocean home
shallow water tumbling
teargas dancing

harbor from exeter and lancaster at sunrise — (in 1947 the president warfield left the harbor from near lancaster street heading for palestine via norfolk and france, and a rechristening as the exodus)

deep water

he found deep water
forests of white oak
a gently sloping shore.
roads and women and men to come
as ships
assemble from visions and dreams

from fells point at sunrise — (in 1730 william fell established a shipyard on a tract named copus harbor, near what is now lancaster street)
