Worksong

They sayJohn Henry
was a myth:
but our fingers
are still blistered
by the hammer.

Published in Chaff 3, but actually a companion piece to ‘Waste’, which was written for the review ‘Nice…if you  can get it’, for which I wrote some of the dialogue and most of the music. (‘Waste’ hasn’t made it onto this site yet!) Copyright David Harley 1982.
