Papendrechtse Veer
In the gray light
Before dawn, boat
Horns announce the
Day's narrow dullness.
And with gray
Above, around, even
Spewn down as
Slushy slop,
We splash half-
Blind through
Small, dusky,
Twisted dismal streets,
To wait coldly
For the ferry--
Gray-white metal
On colorless water.
Dampness soaks
In with the chill;
Gray-blue fumes
Flavor river mist.
And cramped over
A steely rail,
Looking downward
On the muted silver
Surface of the
Maas, I see oily
Rainbows flicker
In Colors of Spring.
Before dawn, boat
Horns announce the
Day's narrow dullness.
And with gray
Above, around, even
Spewn down as
Slushy slop,
We splash half-
Blind through
Small, dusky,
Twisted dismal streets,
To wait coldly
For the ferry--
Gray-white metal
On colorless water.
Dampness soaks
In with the chill;
Gray-blue fumes
Flavor river mist.
And cramped over
A steely rail,
Looking downward
On the muted silver
Surface of the
Maas, I see oily
Rainbows flicker
In Colors of Spring.
