Land of the Long White Cloud

The covers end, they all go home—
You lift my seams unseen and there’ll

Be countless more scores, like this, that are
Big, bad, exhausting seas but I’m
Not alive there: how lovely for me.

Cry away to your island now, please.
This life is duller, but I’ll only get a poorly head.


The line breaks and hanging line indents may be incorrectly formatted because I cannot be bothered to fiddle with the HTML. View the correct formatting in the full collection Juveni… Doesn’t Matter (The Grey-Salmon Book) (and subscribe at the top of the page).
