On The Sea-River
In the harbour when night falls
People wander like hasty shadows
in the hot air
While the boats, lying on their sides
Await the arrival of the waters in the mud
In the streets lie the disarrayed remains of the
fish market
At low tide the river hides in darkness
Giant nocturnal moths slam against street lamp lights
They fall to the ground flapping their wings in a desperate hum
A forgotten beggar who got lost, stumbles on the street corner
Looking for a bed for the night
Even the dogs aren't in a hurry
A blurry bar overlooks the street
Under the light that illuminates a billiard table
The shrill cries of whores at fat customers
Perched on stools against the walls
The hum of the fan, the cough of the night porter
Crouched at the hotel entrance
Fatigue under the eyelids, a few glints before sleep
People wander like hasty shadows
in the hot air
While the boats, lying on their sides
Await the arrival of the waters in the mud
In the streets lie the disarrayed remains of the
fish market
At low tide the river hides in darkness
Giant nocturnal moths slam against street lamp lights
They fall to the ground flapping their wings in a desperate hum
A forgotten beggar who got lost, stumbles on the street corner
Looking for a bed for the night
Even the dogs aren't in a hurry
A blurry bar overlooks the street
Under the light that illuminates a billiard table
The shrill cries of whores at fat customers
Perched on stools against the walls
The hum of the fan, the cough of the night porter
Crouched at the hotel entrance
Fatigue under the eyelids, a few glints before sleep
