BEFORE THE ALARM




up 
before 
dawn
i hear the haunted noises the night left out

the slow honk of marsh geese
    black dragon shapes 
    against 
pale clouds
like
    photo
        negatives 
or 
peeling paint patches
    on
    back
    alley plaster

i feel Pause and Potential . . . world in a museum

fog horns sad with travel call bored with warning
    and
    theres a low mandrax moan
    of
    working steel
    from
    the
    new cranes
giant
    like sci fi
        on 
        the
new dredged banks
