Zeno’s Shipwreck

 

It sank in July,

adrift along the chalk-spun corridor,

sidewalk scalped by surveyor’s white:

the long-loved triple decker—

last dust

of the family lot.

It stood bruised,

its torso propping up

demolition permits midway

behind blue-green COMING SOON signs.

Missing from the basement:

Our grandfather’s samurai sword,

the heirloom harpoon,

hauled across the Pacific

into the post-war boom.

 

Thanksgiving Morning. My wool scarf

knotted tight through intrepid air.

It will still be Massachusetts Avenue.

The street signs, unfazed.

The house’s pre-demolition face—

eyes of an old friend,

hushed, half-frozen.

 

Vines recede like fractions of memory

down rusty gutters

atop a temple kept in mind.

 

When summer whips back round

new ships we didn’t foresee

will roll on volatile oceans,

the miles halving their way

under star-stitched moonlight,

with our chests—anchor & compass—

pointing, not steering.

Upward – Daniel Moon

Daniel Moon is a third-culture city dweller, traveller, and avid photographer fascinated by how cities look and feel. Daniel’s photography often focuses on one of the most ordinary features of city life: stairs. He finds them striking yet unsettling. Their lines and scale can make them some of the most visually compelling elements of a building, yet they can also become obstacles for people who cannot use them. Living in and travelling through different cities, Daniel has observed how differently urban spaces are designed and used. His work explores the way culture, design standards, and assumptions about movement through shared spaces shape a city over time.
