The Factory Worker's Son
Poetry from Irish writer Djamel White
by Djamel White

(Inspired by Wang Xiaoshuai)
There is no exception to the rule
Return to the steelworks now and
billow smoke around the town
The grind and the groan
The colossal moan
the residual dust
I am the shadow of that thing you saw
Rise from the reservoir with gills and claws
Romantic China’s dead and gone
Drowned in the glow and the neon hum
And dusk
Your half-light shimmers
A silhouette in the window
