through the fog; faded red on
pale yellow stucco
AQUARIUM
chipped blue octopus-eyes wide
above murky letters.
old and small it sits, cracks,
on the boardwalk
seal barks echo off the steamed-smeared glass
then the heavy sloshing as white throats
turn in filmy water
through the night of the closed pier,
the fish-mist air,
blurred shapes glide, endlessly
between dull green light and
sea-weed shadows.
