Climate refugee
I miss my own piece of ground under the sea
under a fly of the Lord’s some thin cross
my mind could be like a harp and no hand to suit it
should any religion call me like a ruin of a friend
shall death and despair rule or temper me
knowing the time to fall and the time to age
to go sleep with the crows in my hindered land
Erasure poem derived from The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Friday 13 November 1668.
