angst cycle (iii) 
[ǁ] (ii)
bangladeshi beaches 
ships run aground 
monstrosities of the sea 
rotting rivet by rivet 
disassembled by hand 
dust that kills 
freed to the air 
to be inhaled 
men disassembled 
by their own hand 
by the need to feed 
their families
 
that’s the image 
i see up there now 
a collision of bows 
above the black tower
 
that’s the image 
i have of those beaches 
sledgehammers slowly eating 
the corpses of industry 
poisoning for life
 
i’ve never been there 
i’ll never go there 
how can i really comment
