‘Convoy’ – Poem by Ginnie-May Turner
Day breaks down
to ambient firelight,
and laughter in harmony,
crackling, under Aquadrome nights.

Day breaks down
to ambient firelight,
and laughter in harmony,
crackling, under Aquadrome nights.

There’s a deep, swelling anger,
like the splits in the old barrel,
and black powder is burying the stone,
keeping your throat dry, and closed.

Black, the waves roll into the shore.
From the ruins, the wind streams east,
billowing my hair like a flag.

‘Hail, great mother’,
three spires on the plane,
St. Chad’s seat
in a Mercian sunrise.
