nightboat

drinking dining
seeing ships boats shoreline
southeast onto late afternoon riversea
sun slowly farther behind
lower then forgotten
steamer slipping into evening south
through nursing sharks under homebound heron
night sinking into past
so far
a speck of light
explodes all
and rainforest drips unsilent

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)
