Four days from port Southampton, my body was found entombed in a cargo bin laid out and padded with white satin evening gloves.
Exhumed and disimpacted, flung over the bulwark into the sea, I knew I’d been abandoned by everyone I love.
I can see a growler on the waves breaking above my body. Jesus Christ is reaching out his hand, fighting the tide to save me. I can see him fighting.
Cassie carried Ana to the St. John’s harbor light, and her eyes were big and round with turned-in corners like her brother’s. I held to her hand to keep her steady on the line, and in that moment, I remembered that I never got to thank you.
Arthur, did you make it over to the other side? Are you well and are you waiting at the end of it? Because I’m still holding to the hand I found reflected in your eyes, where I swear I saw the neverending faithfulness of God, so that one day, I can finally tell you–
That I was glad you were alive.
Three days to West Manhattan. Send word to my friends, I’m finally coming home.
