“Release the Muse”
Fragments and thoughts – Sydney Ferry
He works on the ferries
blue overalls and a friendly smile
“good luck mate’ he says
as we set sail
the ferry pulls away
rocking on Sydney Harbour
we sway under the bridge
bound for Darling Harbour
and Milsons point
the engines are vibrating
up through the hull
into the frame of the seat I’m sitting in
a celestial harmony of straining bearings
sing through the vessel
as we glide slowly with the waves
the harmonies abate as as the power is applied
the engines now are unharmonic voices
stuck in a drone
with the power down
the mumble of the motors
shakes the boat from side to side
rumbling as the power dies
as we glide
into Milsons Point
pointy triangle top waves
dance in green and grey
