the bell
the gold and copper
with seadirt
and the
seawind

no one
has washed it
since 1923
and that man
jumped
or so
they
say

in
the
middle
of the bell
the long chime
heavy weighted

ive
always
wondered why
the bells
are so heavy
you have to swing
like zeus
to make
it ring

the sea
the seas burden
the seas freedom

blue marks one
green the other

when the wind is mean
the water pushes up
salt and sealife
the waves in a mad wind
pushes up against
the beige stones

ths stones
heavy

the sea
heavy

i am
heavy

a
sea
crab

once
crawled up
to measure
the length of the
watchtower

i watched
from the shore
he went up 180 feet
i kissed my mate
and flew
in my grey
and white
feathers
for the
night
watch
along
the
watch
tower
