where no one is
when I am there 
where no one 
was near
me before. 
Here is where my skin 
is always burned. 
Where my belly
turns endlessly, 
the wall at the shallow canal 
where I
sit listless
watching carbon grey 
cargo ships pass in and out
weighted with coal
and other 
torched things -
they navigate
the thin grey 
water-vein as I 
navigate
myself 
as you sit near me
where no one 
was
near me before.
