4000psi shuddering
skeletons. A billion bees
drumming the rest
of life to silence. Through mist, dank light
a cold room wall brought back
to bone.
.
4000psi shuddering
steel racking
stripped of pallets, flesh
of fruit and veggies now steaming
in a pile of January sun.
.
Another avocado trapped
above my head, the forgotten
dead hanging just below high tide.
.
While sleeping, the river crept
into Rocklea. Entering cucumber coldrooms
and banana gas chambers. Waterproof Haas treading
warehouse swamp for days, keeping it’s
head up like an instinct. Sensing
rest in an elbow of steel racking.
.
Washing salad
on a loading dock, spread
across the street, scooped
by excavator.
.
4000psi shuddering
this hanger back to 4 deg
in a few days
to fill with new fruit.
