Her
father
Shaven head full of powerful
incantations
She thought,
recounting
it later to her
childfren
Strung out like
bunting
And
remembered
how he and his brothers
Cloud marked material,
feathery prawns
,
tuna
- the dark prince, muscular, dangerous
And sometimes, she said, he must have wondered which had been the
better
way to
die
Only we
children
still chattered and
laughed
Till
gradually
we too learned to be
silent
My
mother
never
spoke
again in his presence
They treated him
as though
he no longer existed
Green blue translucent
sea
