Saltaire

By Kamal Kaan

SALTAIRE, canal-side:

The Sun sings.
Salts sits sexily
amongst sandstone streets
ageless, timeless –
did you think?
in years to come
You’d become a fine bone ornament on a mantle piece?
Tomorrow’s dust
Now rusts your skin.

Our memories
carved upon the bones
of these stones
