destination

half a niche

at botany bay,

I'm thinking

as I look at

you talk to me

should I put

my glasses on,

you're blurry.

container cranes

huge horizon

rusty red orange

cadmium yellow

but dirtier,

younger, like

cobalt yellow.

scrutinize

colour strips,

lead-tin yellow

far gantry

beyond

a woad blue bay.

feeling

shipped -

dump habits,

attachments,

a clear bell

from the hill,

a critical distance

from monuments,

dun brick niches

stacked

with ash
