Broke the Reflection
I dropped my mother's ashes
down into the water
I wanted them to sink down
but they just floated there
as they broke the reflection
of the sun
it reminded me
of Oahu in two thousand one
it was the sixtieth anniversary
of the day that lived in infamy
when over the U.S.S. Arizona
I would only photograph with my mind
the flowers I saw
dropped from another survivor
that floated along the water,
breaking the tension
of the oil still rising
from that sunken battleship
my face was ashen
as everything, too, still
broke the reflection
of the sun
