Moon on sea larger
Than moon in sky –
Smaller than moon in cloud break

The energy it takes to
Move all the water –
In Halifax’s sea harbour –
When I walk its water front

First ferry ride in
Many months took the scenic
Route around the back –
Of a big container ship –
Leaving the harbour slowly

Wet from the rain in the sky –
And harbour water
Splashing overboard

Who is making waves –
At this time of night –
From halfway in the harbour?

Because the docks in
