Silent pebble;
Skimming stone.
War shorn shingle;
Thoughts of home.
Drunken fog;
Enemy drip.
Hallowed voice;
Sunken ship.
Air-torn sky;
Tumbled drum.
Air raid dunked;
Nothing won.
Wooden biscuits;
Fire lit skies.
Ring pulled rowing;
Silent cries.
Lanterned searches
And tangled whistles.
Missing planes
And seaweed thistles.
Silent nights
And moonlit drops.
Turning pages
Of twisted knots.
Heroed voice;
Tidal spill.
Rainbow roses;
Heroed will.
Words: Jane Griffiths-Jones, January 2021
