The Ghosts Above the East River
The East River, polluted, pulled back and forth with tides, becomes familiar enough that you can almost stop seeing it. But then, nature reminds us about change.
You’re lucky being out on days like this because they never happen a second time. For January, the weather’s mild, and there’s no wind displacing the fog.
Because everything seeks return to set point, the big island across the river rises again, but slowly, gently, so unlike New York.
