CANTOR
Can you run at a canteralong cannery row
as gulls banter
about the fish they stole
composing as a cantor
at the shore
while on horseback
along cannery row
battening down
ahead of the storm
ships and shops
along cannery row
where the bandit gulls go
wind in your face
salt spray in a race
clouds as covers
water that ahead lays
whipping winds flying along
sea
sand
storm
cloud to vista
those untouchable masters
both precede and follow
moon
sky
memory
water as air
water as sky
water as memory
running at canter
along cannery row
to the cantor of gulls
bragging about
the fish they stole
A. MENDOZA, 2017
