Variations on a Line by Peter Redgrove

...in deep pockets hacked from rock
under slate black weather in slate black Wales.

Or maybe the wind is the voice of the clock
wailing to cohorts of lichened stone
built to hold fast the tribal hills,
telling tales, telling tales...

Lawn tennis courts, spectators, Newport Casino, R.I.

That wispy, vaguely taurine shape is a competitor.

Voyage

& I lay in my bunk and slept for so long,

I forgot about the ocean,
Which all the time was going by, right there, outside my cabin window.

And the sides of the ship were green as money,
And th and the water made a sound like memory when we sailed.

like it actually feels good

but they do it regardless...
