(mostly) short poems on life and love

just an impression

January 26, 2022 by Michael Guerin

an early morning fog
obscures distant docks.

beating against the tide
sailors row out toward

skeletal shapes towering
up against a gray horizon

while plumes of smoke
belch from black chimneys.

at the shore their curses
echo like low thunder

under an orange disk
of sun unable to pierce

this funeral shroud
hanging over the city.

(the artist, part i)
