3:30 A.M.
Sailing a broad reach
Off
Off the dock of the cottage
Off the island beach
Tack
A leaving tack
Going
Hunting the missing jazz bowls
Follies dance stop
Wild among the moon & the stars
Leaning buildings records & hops
A wavy ocean & jazz
The missing jazz bowls the missing jazz bowls
Times Sq. & the Cotton Club
The Willow Weeps rides the sunny reach
Between Eastport & the Wolves
Between Lubec & Liverpool
In the morning
The sailor
Puts into a cove
Somewhere
In the Elizabeth Islands
The sailor
Makes a fire pours a rum
Parboils
& braises a chicken
& bakes
A sack of
Purple Peruvian potatoes
Obsessed with hunting
Schreckengost's jazz bowls
Missing on his mind
Dustbowls orange bowls
Wearing her hair slung over her right eye
Veronica Lake
She too
Missing on his mind
& the next night & day sailing
Hunting the missing jazz bowls
The bowsprit is under water more than it is not
& the sailor sees
A bloom
Bouquets & banquets
On the black sky
Velvety black sky
Salt sparks & biting waters
Rolling
&
Missing on his mind
Shazam! Oh! The Gods!
&
The
Wild Man Blues
Missing on his mind
A darting star
A shooting moon
The jazz bowls missing
All
Missing on his mind
