When We Wake Together in a Lost City
House erected on hammock land: sight it
between water’s sink and swell. What’s wild
islanded, twitching its fly-infested
flanks. History provides: handwritten maps
blue throated ghosts whose unearthed bodies
under deck’s teeth speak in low fog and wind.
Can’t know which way to paddle in a small
stuttering boat. But islands, sand barges
arrive. Rise. Disappear. With fickle tide—
shipwrecks undersurface.
The wild chestnut horses bend to muzzle
and feed on what the sea has left them: knots
we can never untie. An obstinate
distance we learn to map inside ourselves.
