Day Notes<br />
(For Bill Higginson)<br />
by David Gershator, U.S. Virgin Islands<br />
six pointer<br />
on the Richter scale<br />
not a wrinkle on the sea<br />
through island mists<br />
a brief glimpse<br />
<strong>of</strong> the invisible<br />
your handbook<br />
at hand<br />
I reach for it again<br />
the things I wanted<br />
to talk about<br />
will have to wait<br />
slamming into the window<br />
the dazed bird<br />
crouches<br />
nothing seemed to help<br />
is this it<br />
you asked<br />
wife and daughter<br />
sing you to eternal rest<br />
Amazing Grace<br />
some 1,400 miles away<br />

stunned<br />
