Embedded Files
Mud heave and lift, up to hug the footings,
brown and blue iodine black, around and through,
yellow bile and liver, pancreas wash, cage crack.
The houses down, slumping in their final chairs,
gaze out crumbled to the last phalanx of pier,
tiny joints of deck and rail, gangway and ramp,
bobbing long and lean and calm in the waves.
