Unthought-of but constant out there every night,
The big ferries pondered on their courses.
I envy you your sight of them this morning,
Docked and massive with their sloped-back funnels.
The outlook is high and airy where you stand
By our attic window. Far Toledo blues.
And from a shelf behind you
The alpine thistle we brought from Covadonga
Inclines its jaggy crest.
Last autumn we were smouldering and parched
As those spikes that keep vigil overhead
Like Grendel's steely talon nailed
To the mead-hall roof. And then we broke through
Or we came through. It was its own reward.
We are voluptuaries of the morning after.
As gulls cry out above the deep channels
And you stand on and on, twiddling your hair,
Think of me as your MacWhirr of the boudoir,
Head on, one track, ignorant of manoeuvre.
