Picture
​Part 7.
shipwreck: entada rheedii

the stranded
the promenaded
the letters interred
to grow a pebbled
coastal vine

families rended
by a boat
a boot appraised
the sales salt
dispersed put
ashore placed
ashore wracked and

deprived of the
of a daughter’s
suddenheight

home far from home
I see a family of four
far from home
the most basic
of vessels to
drink deep from

the temporary villagers
the wisdom dowagers
the fatal fortune tellers

shipriven beached
economies doomed
to wonder doomed
to wander amid
ship the muddy
footprint that stops

at the verge
at the boarding
chaos the galley
the gallery viewed
as exhibit as item:

the ancient painting
of a pig kept
secret in a cave

the tourists want
to see to see
