certainly a Captain, / but not America

1960s, 2016, 5*, America, authority, body, Captain America, eye, freedom, ice, light, movement, questioning, strength, thawing, time, walls, World War

                the body galvanised
                and plastic-strong hung

                for decades, walls of
                ice about his every

                frame, no space to gather
                movement no light to

                raise his eye, worshipped
                by the free who loved

                stature indifferent to
                wanton ministrations,

                thawed, at length, by
                paisley questioning,

                stoic non-authoritarian
                diminution, was released,

                certainly a Captain,
                but not America

'scape, 1997, 4*, fir, green, horizon, ice, Joseph, portrait, river, ship, Southampton

 

 

 

                                            by

                                            the
                                            long
                                            low
                                            wall
                                            by the water

                                            Joseph throws
                                            stones down to
                                            break the ice –

                                            green silhouettes
                                            of old fir trees –

                                            part of the horizon
                                moves behind as a
                                            cargo ship
                                            with containers
                                            like a neighbourhood

                                            enters the
                                            river mouth
