(thank you.)

Yesterday you were here
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.
