Mothers Line the Pier Waiting

March 2004

Mothers line the pier waiting
for our boat to row its rusted hulk
to harbor, to home

then the cleft tongue will break
shitting out the words it hates --
I'm sorry, I did wrong

I made it happen
creasing my palm
cheering the fist

now only the wind keens for the souls
who fill the trees with apples every spring
