Canopy

In the half light on the canal side

Stevedores away for the weekend

Your footstep slips into the silence


The fog breathes, on one, long, clear view

For your eyes to sparkle, before the

Breeze block pallets, laid one on another


In the night light on the arm link side

She slipped away for the weekend strip

Soft dreams back out of the half-shades


The nip in the air is elsewhere burnt

On the log fired embers; the sea rushes over

Our pebbles and sand, over our pebbles and sand


The ginnel leads out into full light

The street falls over the pavement

Hold on, we are uncovered in all ways
