Crossing - a poem for Wednesday

Crossing

a gesture for                                                                                                                                                      for crossing

at the end                                                                                                                                                           of the night

we dream backwards                                                                                                                                       fish—yellow straps

in between                                                                                                                                                         fourteen

eyes—remember                                                                                                                                              a rising
