The machines crash here

             and the sound is like waves

                                             meeting rocks.

 

 

The power of oceans

                            here

                                is not of tides

                                         ebb and flow

 

     but is the upthrust

                             of gleaming new buildings

        that are to us

                             natural symbols.

 

           Symbols of

                        say perhaps

                                   the power of oceans

                        of tides

                                         ebb

                                         and flow.

 

 

Gleaming upthrust buildings

                    sprung from the sound

                                       of waves crashing

     lunging from the earth

                         with the power

                                          of oceans.

 

We living here

               enter amongst them

                           like sailors enter the sea.
