Part VIII 

Rock pleats like baked bread
and swims not one iota
down the craggy, sinking
bank. Catamaran crashes,
steamliner, and crates bend
sideways under expectant
bow-tied weight. You were
reading the Classics, you said,
cruising narrow channels
and skimming well-trod canons
under shimmied Cuban heels.
Shoe-shined, well worn,
misremembered indexes of the
life you never had. I danced
with you, and you stood still
as a statue then, solid and
stocky, me in my stockinged feet.
I whispered, tiptoed motionless
on water so clear it clouded
secrets, and we drifted
ominous onwards, the
upthrust of it yet unknown.
