a few floors down
in another building
someone else looks out
hotel window-
a still life below
ever changing…
drought-
ants disappearing
into cracked earth

the brass arrow
points the way
to something or someplace
that no longer
is there…
Central Park
from another era
an arrow…

once upon a time
the Flat Iron provided
the very best view…
falling behind my family
to take more photos
flat iron building…
step by step to the side
it flattens

the strength
to find a way
each day…
the long night’s

mid town Manhattan-
so many places become home
on the street

I check out both ends
of the Staten Island ferry
and join the majority…
those who look ahead
to where we are going
Staten Island ferry…
the ride over and back
just for the ride…

Hubble site:
impatiently waiting
for a galaxy to load
one center,
among many,
of the universe…

without any wine,
pausing at that point
in the poem
where I’d reach out
for another sip
look out
from Brooklyn Heights
as day ebbs
