‘Is that a boat?’
whispered the child
as the coffin
was carried out.
whispered the child
as the coffin
was carried out.
‘Yes, in a way’
his mother said
as the fresh thought
kindled her hope.
And the low sun
flamed over it
as it drifted
beyond her reach.
The picture is an outline of a Viking boat possibly put on a pillar in Stow Minister by someone who'd seen one on the Trent.
