Wharf-pool water –
Century’s stagnant mirror –
Surface made of shattered
Butcher’s knife blades and
Shards of guillotine in a
Brick-sided drawer:
Wharf-pool water –
Century’s stagnant mirror –
Surface made of shattered
Butcher’s knife blades and
Shards of guillotine in a
Brick-sided drawer:
Touching down on
Riveted ribs, sore knees and knuckles
(But decorated toes curled up
Inside thin iron-skin slippers,
For this heavy-gravity water
Is Hellfire-cold today).
Stealing volume,
Pumping it into framed dark spaces.
Borrowing colour, these live-again hulks
Balance patiently on
Their own reflections,
Their own potential.
