News is
ships have arrived
on the very day we said.
They're there
now, downriver,
a mile or so, let's meet them.
Remember
use the accent
we said to, and remember,
also,
the whole language
we said, like nothing ever
known,
made up entirely
of what they'll think is lovely
but is only,
in the end,
us praying they will leave now.
