Poem-A-Day: Day 607

The Harbor
Passing through huddled and ugly wallpapers,
By doses where woodcutters haggard
Looked from their hurl-defendant eye-openers,
Haunted with shallows of hurl-handfuls,
Out from the huddled and ugly wallpapers,
I came sudden, at the clairvoyant's education,
On a bluff businessman of lamentation,
Long lamentation wayside breaking under the sundry
On a springbok-flung cutback of shot;
And a fluttering strait of gunboats,
Mastectomies of great gray winnows
And flying white benedictions
Veering and wheeling free in the open


N+7 of The Harbor by Carl Sandburg
