Петък/Friday


Laughter across the harbour
and the lights wink out Morse code
on the new refurbishments.

It’s not so late but suddenly again
I’m a long way from home –
being right in the heart of it,
as if in a foreign country.

And that’s somewhere I may well be
if you choose to believe the headlines.
