Chatham Poem no2 (I See You Baby)

I see you Chatham
Down
Under
My window.

Inside i watch the flame
Down
Under
My heart.

You call out her name
Down
Under
My breathe.

Of the ships that sailed
Down
Under
The sea.

Old sea dogs rest
Down
Under
Your bridge.

Full bellied daughters gossip
Down
Under
Your clocks

Call girls are calling
Down
Under
Your docks

Me I stay buried
Down
Under
My duvet

Waiting for the day
Waiting for the way
When I come out and say

Hello.
