The landing lights loom like dreams
as we approach Saint Louis. They stand
a steadfast watch within my soul.
Like souls too dreaming this shimmering
on the dark glass water, they flicker
with the troubled current and wake.
I waken too from staring at water
and see illumined lights that shake
old memories from their deep sleep
off the starboard shore towards day:
mountains of strange familiar shape.
