Harry Gallagher<br />
He tracks the trails of the river<br />
and the trickling of time,<br />
trawls by the terraces<br />
of an unemployed working town<br />
and finds magic in the cracks.<br />
Sees Quaker bricks bearing<br />
fingerprints of outsiders;<br />
these bridge builders who played<br />
jointhedots across a globe,<br />
smaller now than it was.<br />
Headstones are logged:<br />
marble, stone, iron, still<br />
spattered from the works.<br />
Reads strange immigrant names,<br />
forgers a future now passed.<br />
Allthewhile, blackwings feather<br />
the frontage of borders<br />
invisible to him. Each turn<br />
of the light noted captive<br />
in a pocketbook for nightfall.
