The Monitor Stone
At high tide
a black flag
hid the monitor stone
This brought distress
to my family
but not to me
Education of a Fly
Stay still my glamorous scholars
learning is a slow art
A Long Romance
I shall write you divided letters
as the shingle dictates my pace
I will describe rare hidden rocks
and their jewels within
I will send my comedy to you
as I share your sketched return
with the elders of the sea
