HOW THE ATLANTIC OCEAN PREPARES FOR WAR

The Atlantic is a map of bones.

The Atlantic is a mouth of ancient boulders.

The Atlantic is holding massacre

like a keepsake against its heart.

The Atlantic is painting the sunset in blood

just above its receding hairline.

The Atlantic is stuffing its pockets

with photographs of children.

The Atlantic is drunk on Motown.

The Atlantic is drunk on jazz so black

its blue because

after things are black for a long time

they become blue.

The Atlantic has my jaw in its fist because my teeth

and tongue have curled into knuckles.

The Atlantic has Africa in its fist

because they’ve been trading ghosts for centuries.
