COLUMBIA, 1859

Lake Michigan

They dropped anchor at Plum Island,

but when the chain broke they lost

what held them—all that was taut and fixed.

Slammed into shore, even language splintered.

They climbed into the rigging

of the double-masted brig

like spiders, and moved from rigging

into tree branches like birds

and lived thereafter with a knowledge

of what was inside them: silk

and spinnerets, wing bars and tail feathers,

extra lives wrapped in sailcloth.

J. R. SENSIBAR, 1939
