to those who painted the incipient wave,
the last foretold-
instead of getting out of town
what prize can be given?
a deeper blue wash on a canvas, soft green;
the starfish descending?
the last gleam of the sky?
to those who persisted at the mouth of Floods,
what words are there?
only a pearl silence,
a floating pier; upended,
the peach parasols of
small children-
going by.
