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.
