Night View on The Hard

First, there’s a single light, 

then a pleiades alone deep in 

the dark but the focus lightens

and it’s reflected on a lifebelt 


and the mooring figures gathered 

at the edge of what you know, is the dark 

water freezing sodium, sky, come here 

to the inlet look what is it empties 


and fills, passion, but obsession 

a sense of the slump in the night 

little shapes dormant carriers, 

but obsession, it returns predictable 


as leather in the backbone 

quiet fixation ruled by the the order

look out, back to the finish that night 

mooring a loose square into focus.
