NOSTOS


Don’t be so impatient to get home.

Everything you remember

is waiting to destroy you

the moment you return


that’s why you need a really 

killer boat-song:

like ‘The Sea-Farer’ or 

Columba’s Rhine-poem

or the Bunnymen: 'Ocean Rain'

(But not like Caesar’s 

lost (thank god) poem ‘Iter.’)


Because whatever it is

you think you remember,

the magic is different now.


Don’t be in such a hurry to check your 

messages

either.
