Poems
Aug 2016
Ripple row.
A stroll through the honour roll of history
along the river where
shipping was once the big industry
and now the river is the graveyard
of destiny
the march of the container army.
slow
the tide doesn't move with the phase of the moon
there's no room on the Thames for regrets.
Ghosts of the sea sailing in to haunt Woolwich and
Wapping,
Limehouse and Greenwich, the
sound of eight bells on the air.
