Anchor
I see you now
from Brooklyn
and on the train, larger
than green lady liberty.
at Floyd Bennet Field
and Jamaica Bay
on 6th Avenue
and in The Village
...
Heads above
the others on
the Manhattan Skyline
A new big solid tower
there were others before
not impervious, but
replacing The Twins
Somehow an anchor
for the city and elsewhere
oily and shimmering
refections of the changing skies
A reminder of lost battles
needed deliberation,
of what America
and the World
needs to sadly
not forget.
