17 | "The boat is in the harbor" [pantoum]

What dignified attendants!
what service when we pause
I'm leaving no dependants
I'm owning up to flaws
what service when we pause
the hands all wave farewell
I'm owning up to flaws
and ringing sorrow's bell

the hands all wave farewell
thuogh no one sees the landing
and ringing sorrow's bell
would seem a bit demanding
thuogh no one sees the landing
the boat is in the harbor
would seem a bit demanding
the sympathy of ardor

the boat is in the harbor
the train is in the station
the sympathy of ardor
has glinty information
the train is in the station
the crescent moon's ascendance
has glinty information
what dignified attendants!

Pantoum borrowing two lines from a poem by Emily Dickinson, "One dignity delays for all"
