Montrose Harbor
This place has come again, still chronicling,
etching wisps of lifetimes on its terraced shore.
Truths lie sleeping in these rocks, hurled before me:
distant memories of uncertain children await their call.
Circling gulls seek signal from the half-bright
horizon of dawn’s sleeping eyelids, whose awakening glow
offered ten-thousand greetings since he passed by.
Who was he, what did I take from him?
They will tell me,
they will tell me…
