Pero’s Bridge -
the dock’s ice gathers
new year resolutions
waterbus ferries -
someone at the tiller
nods at John Cabot
bright breeze
a sighted person fingers
the statue’s eyes
falling down
onto rush hour traffic
seagull feathers
floating harbour
a sunfall’s last glint over
wind dimpled water
autumn twilight ...
swan shapes separate
for the lone boatman
