NANCY RAHIJA - STOLT TANKER

ASPIRATION

Moving metal landscape.

The rusting smears of the tanker’s skin.
Chunk of sun. Chemical tomb.

Northern Europe to Great Lakes gateway.
Steeltown lights, her harbour stars.

Two tugs in – the tallow emptied.
One tug out – the water carves.

Texture-rich, Rahija’s sequence.
Golden Angel: the thing desired.
