Chimney

Chimney

A Poem by Patrick Davies
"

A journey in the tube...

"

Pigeon roosting

Plump, broad and fat.

Breast and brood,

The chimney's hat.

 

Orange warm clay

Circling space.

Up poking pot,

The chimney's face.

 

Through the roof,

Up which smoke floats

Through walls, rooms,

The chimney's throat


Coals clay red

Cased iron cart,

Pulse hot, beat bright,

The chimney's heart.
