Friday 3 June 2011

around a quiet bay

clouded peaks rise
suddenly above
bobbing boats bouncing
to church-studded rocks
and sunlight sparkles
on a silver dome

wine glasses clink
and lean-limbed girls
smile up shyly
at their ancient young country's
bright days from pale old stones
on a curving quay

one hundred and sixty-nine prisoners of war:
tortured
here
twenty years ago
