 Kingston Marina

It must be so quiet 
on the dock 
near the limestone wall 
of the penitentiary

The water is clear 
pure, hardly deadly 
yet you haven’t 
come sailing
preferring to hang
back, and let us go
 
I must be 
getting 
smaller 
waving, reaching 
to open the kite off the mainsail

My child, who could drown on such a harmless day? 
The boat could be made of paper, the lake a bathroom sink.
