Rain slicks the cobble stones Flashlight paints the walls in cones Steam rises from the grated drain Guard checks his watch against the strain Maglock clicks on the service door Shift begins on the thirteenth floor He stands the watch the old way taught Beam cuts the rain the night has brought No ship will founder on this stone He tends the light he calls his own Drifters pass in vinyl coats Holograms flicker through their throats He nods once lets the moment pass Logbook notes the hour and mass Scanner hums a low blue tune Quarter past two beneath the moon He stands the watch the old way taught Beam cuts the rain the night has brought No ship will founder on this stone He tends the light he calls his own Tide turns slow in copper wire Sirens wail like foghorn choir He knows the rhythm of the beat Salt blood pumping through concrete street Compass needle in his chest Points him true toward the rest He stands the watch the old way taught Beam cuts the rain the night has brought No ship will founder on this stone He tends the light he calls his own Gray lifts the curtain on the sprawl Neon gutters out along the wall Boots hit pavement heading home Another watch has come and gone Coffee steams in a chipped enamel mug Harbor quiet beneath the rug He stands the watch the old way taught Beam cuts the rain the night has brought No ship will founder on this stone He tends the light he calls his own The beam sweeps wide the darkness breaks Another dawn the keeper makes Lamp trimmed clean for next night's round Salt air rising from the ground
