The Tired : Mirror homage to 'Night Haul' by Joe Denham

He writes invisible lines on horizontal, murk.

Twisting the phalanx lance similar to a shimmering rod

The iron blade edge combusting moth shrimp

As they ride onto a load to gather currency

The coal-burning Noise-whale, a collector

Twists a symphonic of wrench and groan

Under the gargling wail of fuel

As well as pistons, the reflection of The Tired.

They rest hovering topside, crouched

And struck by the whipping lash of colour

The rope wrenches into the horizontal,

Winching the Oxen toward the catch

Winching until nets rip in like horizontal pull

Surfacing up through murk with a feverish shine

And shifting away to naked frailty

That glory The Tired had began to behold.
