828. DOUBLE AMALGAMATED SWEETNESS FACTORY

DOUBLE AMALGAMATED
SWEETNESS FACTORY
How they came in hordes, those minions -
walking bared planks to ship-berthings and
wild docks. Some sailed and died, some
managed, some puked and survived.
We had children born and doused
below deck too. It was a crazy
cantilevered passage both
bitter and hard - like
this life too, but with
a promised place on the
other side, on that other
shore : unknown walkings
brought this fervid tribe to
fruition. Harbor, heart, homeland,
homage (but Heaven, not quite).
