family poem

we lay
what was it the engines said
i know what you're going to say
it was many and many a year ago
perhaps it is no matter that you died
in new york harbor
why do you always stand there shivering
when sea-winds pierced our solitudes
beautiful, tragical faces
days endeared to every muse
