a new york poem

This is the suitcase that’s carried wherever I go,

Inside a feast and outside ever widening circles

of coal and bread, cotton and zinc.

Clouds appear in the service of earth

bound to nothing

like the sun that sets over endless maples,

but beyond, smiling and sweet,

there she is!

that majestic river

we now call Hudson
