EARLY THIS NIGHT

Early this night
hearing your secret
a boy
buying a Portuguese bread
a runaway
submerged on a boat,
early this night
a German refugee
with a yellow starred coat
has a Turkish bath,
a sax musician
between thunder strikes
confesses to his ex
early this night
that he survived
as an extra
in a warlord
Hollywood film.
a mechanic dives
into the Pacific
to locate an Oscar,
the boy escapes
from the boat
to the home harbor
the refugee
helps the mechanic
to locate the Oscar
for the musician's ex.
