A post: snaking waterway shallower than hasty graves greets clothed congregation

          that ask a current

                                             swallow them to safety.

On video, pixelated men in coats that refuse to desaturate await

          beside chain-link fence, beside border to destination

beyond cellphone camera chronicles.

Desperation creates blade,

          slices through,

cleaves crowd to two shores embracing bridgeless river,

     one side for sparse fortunate, kneeside bags in lieu

                                                  of feverish verbal farewells,

other shore makeshift homing stateless souls.

          Next post: a moonless night upon a city

of souls not yet ghosts. Lights of houses sit upon

          the horizon like glinting sea surface skeining

sunrays into watertop ornaments, in this video,

          oceans of homes stay calm, bombless skies

gift dwellers another silent lullaby.
