Sighting

you say it is a collection of vapor formation not land but
when sum of two units mornings later true mist
turn abouts in we know we are missing something--was
it just a strip of darker water from one side of to the other
the horizon--a craggy one-line list of the missing: sex
romance, tourism, humidity
obscur from the new baby, the baby, discipline,
weather, will--our work, our work,
the distance to town, the meager bring into view slippery
protections and what was for a momentum
a whale forward second look just driftwood behind a buoy-

the sea today
