Goat Island
Goats
move to high ground
when the tide
comes in

Fish live in their bellies

spots and croakers
crabs
and shrimp
with tiny headlamps

At night
the insides
of their stomachs
glow
like lights strung
in a coal mine

On a boat
you can see
things moving

the whistle
the steam drill
the workers
