    To the Habormaster – Joan’s reponse to Frank O’Hara <\/a><\/p>\n

    To the Harbormaster (Poem by Frank O’Hara) <\/p>\n

    I wanted to be sure to reach you;<\/p>\n

    though my ship was on the way it got caught<\/p>\n

    in some moorings. I am always tying up
    \nand then deciding to depart. In storms and
    \nat sunset, with the metallic coils of the tide
    \naround my fathomless arms, I am unable
    \nto understand the forms of my vanity
    \nor I am hard alee with my Polish rudder
    \nin my hand and the sun sinking. To
    \nyou I offer my hull and the tattered cordage
    \nof my will. The terrible channels where
    \nthe wind drives me against the brown lips
    \nof the reeds are not all behind me. Yet
    \nI trust the sanity of my vessel; and
    \nif it sinks, it may well be in answer
    \nto the reasoning of the eternal voices,
    \nthe waves which have kept me from reaching you. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
