In Fathoms: Dreams and Soundings

East Gloucester Liminal- Painting by Kevin Macneil Brown,
acrylic on canvas, 2009

-------------------------------------------------
Avoiding the wreck
that lay at 30 fathoms
we nonetheless stirred
something from the bottom.

Stranger and
darker than any old bones--
we could not say
what it was.

But between blue basin
and silver shoal water
our captain could
thread the needle;

Through fog now, to Brown’s Bank,
where we arrived by morning,
in time to set out new lines.

-Kevin Macneil Brown

At Dawn

Morning Beach

Painting by Kevin Macneil Brown,
watercolor on paper, 2010

------------------------------------------------

Rising
{sun}

pillar of
diffuse light
through

clouds, becoming
the point of
being
every

reach of
now.
