have i gone off the deep end
or is this just reverie
you know the
deep end
might just be
the shallowsoff snipe point
where the
short-finned pilot whales beached
a couple years
agoand couldn't return to the sea
their bodies
limp
the sunset
reflectingacross their glassy eyes
every new year
the question
comes to the surfaceonly to be ignored after the news hour
i hear the
champagne plastic
clinking in
starched bow tiescruise ships disembarking
tonight
the waves
refuse to crashcall it a requiem
