Harbour, moonrise

The moon comes up over Portobello

and lays a road across the water

that nobody walks on.

I stand at the rail and do not try.

A ferry is somewhere out there,

or a fishing boat, one light moving.

The harbour is keeping its own counsel,

which is what harbours are for.

Like what you read?

This is as far as the free sample goes — the rest of Notes from the Fernery is waiting for you.
