Act of care: Poem 
Some would consider it little more than a mass, 
A place holder. 
It sits. 
Purely reactive. 
It ripples, and flows, and crashes. 

The city crouches around it, 
Poised within itself, 
Streets of dirt and squalor and grime. 

Yet when viewed with the correct perspective,
This inhumane mass,
This placeholder, 
This water
It brings the city to life 

Its skin,
Stretches over the horizon.
Rippling and twisting around the boats that cut it. 
Its veins, 
twist and spiral,
Trapped beneath the tonnes of concrete  
And even when confined 
Even as we poison it
And drain it 
And exploit it 
The harbour inspires a freedom
