Coney Island Sunset
I stroll along the boardwalk
pass the Wonder Wheel
rising high
and going round
pass the Cyclone
grinding gears,
clankity, slow rise,
fast fall,
twists
and screams
turns
and shouts,
drops,
bumps
dips,
rattles.
It’s getting late,
light begins to fade.
The skeletal remains
of the parachute drop
looms,
a stark silhouette
in the red rust glow
of twilight.
I walk to the end
of Steeplechase Pier,
lookout upon the water
between Sandy Hook
and Breezy Point,
watch the ocean stretch
to the horizon
and touch the edge
of infinity.
