Playing catchup with my poem publications. Am I simultaneously both late and on-time now?

Here's Ghost Ship, inspired by Robert Dash's haunting photo entitled "Into the Mystic." Thanks to Tim Green at Rattle for issuing this ekphrastic challenge, and to Lorette C. Luzajic for publishing it at The Ekphrastic Review.
