State what you've seen
or risk the vast crumpled ball
you flaked from torn suit jacket
staggering manner oh forget it
I don't ever really see water
I see dented platters platters
shifting and free with their dents
and a strange curse delivers
us all a fruited banquet
for what has vanished witness
the spinnaker and how
it batters us with color yesterday
everything whirling the boatyard
whirling leaves like an urn
whirls hunters after a boar
but clutches only stems to its center
oh forget it it's a long journey
under the heading of fire
