Fog On The River
A slow twist, an invisible slide
the hulls of small boats
again escape,
drop down into the morning fog,
return like seagulls rising.
The moored,
slip in and out of the mist
enigmatic as any legend
then return,
painted now,
by the deeply diving sky.
Sinking or flying, the small craft
slip through our vision,
like river leaking ghosts.
They roll upon an obscure air,
ship cloudy waves,
last seen
in a shipwrecked teacup.
