#1857 - the night ships

 


1857

6.30

30.i.25

the night ships

ekphrastic for Peter Godwin’s ‘Studio Nocturne – feeding the birds’

 

call the clouds colour

a kind of finery they make

 

there could be a face

or inventing the creature

 

a fall of water, sticker peeled

patches as of where pressed

 

hear the horns of a harbour

not a thing to see

 

an accidental drift of line

often almost somewhere else
