another life

Allen M Weber

while driving
near the bay
I smeared my breath
from a window
to see fishing boats
like stars on blue-
black water
impossibly white

scoured
by rising sun
they appeared cleaner
more earnest
than their lazy cousins
still swaying
beside frivolous piers

as a waterman
I gulped salty air
heard seagulls cry
felt the frigid texture
of the nets
a blunt November
ache in my hands
and valid fear
of the sea

in time
I turned away
savored
a careful sip
of coffee
as Yo Yo Ma
played Mozart
on the radio
