(Summer, 1988)
(Felicia Lamport; minor editing*
R.Greenhaus)
I must go down to the shores again,
Before the wine-dark
sea
Becomes a bloody barricade
Of medical debris.
But all I find as the waves
break
On the sandy beach's fringe
Is a crack tube, some stained gauze
And a hospital
syringe.
I must go down to the shores again,
Despite the breakers laced
With
suppurating sprays of sludge,
Contaminants and waste,
Replacing tidal rhythms
Once
beloved by the bards
With clicks from hypodermics
And their plastic
needle-guards.
I must go down to the shores again,
If only to lament
The
prevalence of salty spume
Imbued with offal scent
And pray that we can find a way
To
clear the mass of muck in it
Before Poseiden's trident ends up
Permanently stuck in
it.
* I took the liberty of replacing Ms. Lamport's
"seas" with "shores" as the
seventh word in each
verse. Too many "seas" in the first two lines. RG
