San Juan Island Ferries
evergreen
chain of islands
linked
by ferries
chugging here to there
with people,
vehicles, and goods on board.
the air sings
with spark and clean salt
ocean breezes -
the horn blasts with chilly cheer
or sometimes with foggy gloom.
The ferry moves from the docks -
the island left behind grows
smaller, smaller
the next in line grows
bigger, bigger
gulls and eagles rocking
on the currents above the sea -
among cloud grays
and sky blues,
above trees evergreen
and constant ferries
in slow motion
