NIGHT PORT



1.

noise in the night
like
oversize bubble wrap 

popping deepened
and
muffled
by 
distance

or 
could be the new port speaking 

container ship
out of where ever
bringing whatever

herded
dockside
by
fledgling tugs
 
 from echo-news.co.uk


2.

new ports
great grey cranes
are
like
giants grey fingers
coming
out
the marshes beige cake

dwarf the
unused refinery stacks

time was their lights
were
like
a
baby vegas

now
off
forever
