Theyâre trying to buy
the seaâs silence from shore,
stuff its mouth dry with ballast
as surging channel waves
rummage stone harbour-walls.
John Bullâs British sloops want to
touch shore with wave-breezed sails,
but weâve girdled cotton docks
tighter than skin on bones. Bales
are piled-up and overwhelm harbour
planking. All those bundles turned
to mould-filled decay, heavy-wet
and sawyer-beetle-infected.
Klatches of men sit sozzled, others
stand yelling in chewing matches.
A couple well-placed lit lucifers,
will tear New Orleans open like a
pulled cornhusk revealing the
sweet kernels, ripe and set to eat.
