Lorna O'Brien
Between Wind & Water
Colossal ships of Iron and Steel haul rock and ore. Engines greasy, pipes snaking through the beasts bowels, combustion engines roar and I can still hear Dad over the din, trying to explain to me how it propels us through life, he was gentle my Dad. Odd facts and wondrous things he would tell me and I listened. Vibrations of piston and shank, noise that wraps you in magnitude, all comforting, always welding, burning blue, eyes watering, always tidy, always neat and grease spatter on the engineers overalls and bright yellow ear protectors for scores of men; hang gentle on the metal grids beneath flood lights. Filling senses with colour and clatter and stories whispered. All is silent now.
