Reflections

Watching black water

Blurring scrambling the images

Scattering the reflections.

Recalling my rovings,

Arrivals and departures,

Damages and jubilations.

Dredging remembrance

In a gilded slither of faces, places,

My crews, my good companions, –

They travel in different ways and distant.

None are now in this great haven

Of those I knew when I was younger,

As I watch black water, weighing

This last ineluctable venture.
