#1699 - on liberty


 

1699

5.267

24.ix.24

on liberty

Staten Island Ferry

 

crown of thorns

the patina

like coin in a puddle

 

you’d cross an ocean

 

from what?

for what?

 

it’s vigilance voice

makes great again

 

huddle ye masses poorly

a cairn cement

cloud shadow

 

for the sardine chained of Africa

for the red folk, their reservation shrinking

 

and tatters fly

 

climb higher

see the long arm and the city from here

 

skies scrape at this imagining

 

through these eyes

this mind –

the gold flecked choc top hoisted high
