On the Sea There is No Shade (ObservationwaterIII) was selected for MSUL’s themed call for work about Water, in coordination with the MSU Broad Art Museum’s fall 2023 exhibition, Flint is Family in Three Acts, featuring the photography of Latoya Ruby Frazi

On the Sea There Is No Shade
 
By noon the sky has turned to cream.
The fish are rocking back and forth.
The sea has large, round eyes as if a basin or large bowl.
I write a letter on the oar.
I push the letter out to float.
The sea is and dark.
By night, the stars are kicking in the sky.
The heavens have a search light for a moon.
