into the glazed lace as if she never noticed, what would it say of the father
facing inland in his shoes and socks at the edge of the tide,
what of the lost necklace glittering twisted in foam?

from the sunken slaveships? what of the huge sun slowly defaulting into the clouds

all picnics are eaten on the grave? — Adrienne Rich
