I can see my hand
In the fog,
And
The building,
Across the street.
That is about all.
So, I know
The ghosts,
Are not
As close
As they sound.
The Ghosts sound like Fog Horns
And that’s what folk
Up
And down
The coast
Say
That they are.
Fog Horns.
But – they aren’t.
They are ghosts that moan,
And wail,
And cough,
And even
Sputter,
On the wind,
In the fog,
Where they can hide
Out in the open.
It is true that they do moan
For ships.
That they do give warnings
In the fog,
Where they can not
Be seen,
Because they look
Like fog.
They give warnings
Because
They have all come
From ships,
Where once they lived.
But now they don’t.
They went down with ships
At sea
And
Along the coast
To their
Cold and wet
Death.
Days ago
Years ago
Centuries ago.
To be buried at sea
Is not
To be buried
At all.
