“Y’know Mum, I love Chow very much.”
The Pirate and the Submariner.
Depths and heights…
Planning a garden, running to Big Ben and back
and bidding me
“Go home – you must bring him home.”
East Dulwich walk. “But will they
let me keep him at home if he’s dying?”
Mapping the sailing ahead
from Peckham to Plymouth to Oldham
and to Infinity.
A ship of the realm, a sextant,
stars, the lanyard, sail, rigging…
The Old Ships – the anchors.
