Atlantis Rises
after Marion

Atlantis rises ……. a blood pink brick ……. a bridge fanning fantasy
a block a blot ……. a fat-lobster haven ……. a paradise fort ……. a watersport harmony
a ruin …… a port ……. a tollgated seabreak ……. Atlantis rises

towers above oceans ……. faces both bloodskies ……. enshadows the pinerows
engulfs the pines ……. engullets small hotels ……. engorges the cay
and towers and towers ……. and blocks the sea ……. Atlantis rises

bloodwashes horizons ……. pinkens the sky ……. retraces the skyline ……. the birds
they die ……. encircles the harbour ……. relocates the port ……. collections the revenue
commissions the boats ……. engages the tourists ……. replicates the town …….
enclothes the workers ……. they drown they drown ……. Atlantis rises
