Blueprint - Oceans II

Trickles in increasingly fickle
And unsettled rivulets through deserts
Caracasses, the bones of asses in the dirt
Reapers sickles over wishes, this dearth
Of liquid.
Hackney Brook, hundred foot wide at the Lea
The Tyburn, Windsor's throne stole as rest
The Fleet with quays, carved Farringdon valley
All cased in concrete tunnels under us
Like spent mine shafts, the hewn veins once precious.
