footnotes the movement
from a railing sunk to
the bottom a
Davy Jones’ Locker
a foot hold find first read
it was Willy that got drown ded
year and date
deep blue sea sourced material
the fact-checking right there
as you are, sir
case closed obedient
ly to history studied
all-nighter arteries of comprehension slit slat
pushed everything up out
rising in the throat
nauseous until
the other picture
becomes the reversal
a feathered hope watering down
those years so many.
