N Harbour
Eric Howden
Unknown alphabets
Are thrashing in nets inside
Your eyes
Hauled on to the decks and
Fighting for breath
Love
Take your time
Here and now
We’re the chorus
Don’t look down
They’re right before us
The words
Wonder-flooded engines
Waiting on landings
Still because
Spring will thaw the harbour
Freeing the endings
We thought
We’d tied up
Here and now
Build a chorus
Don’t look down
It’s right before us
Then and now
We’re thе chorus
Don’t look down
It’s here beforе us
The world
