SALT ON THE WINDOWS.pdf

Squalls bring washing in, doors slam, sand hits windows, salt builds up. Fog rolls in, ships moor, tugboats hoot, cranes crank, pilot boats rush out. Sunset brings dredge noise, echoing over water. Riot at Pier Hotel, seamen drink, police intervene, chair flies over fence. Trees survive pollution, storms, wind, and dogs. Dustman comes, horses push cart, manure collected for rhubarb. Guy Fawkes Day brings fires, sky rockets, and aromas. Missions to Seamen hosts interesting people, women in different clothes, curries cooking. Bus Depot fumes fill the air, buses screech, men wear brown hats, ladies wear gloves. Pigeons rush out, return in evening. Killer Joe's cheap wine, milk stolen, neighbors run cafes, companies. Anzac Day brings poppies, bands, marching soldiers, Last Post heard across waters. Dead body on beach, kids want to see, police cordon off. Rodda's crushes rock, kids use powder as chalk, road stays white. Streamers, rotting onions, rats feast, seaweed rots, smell terrible. Fishermen dominate industry, sharks lurk in shallow water.
