Small Stones: Extended Remixes #4

A longer version of the small stone poem originally posted on 5th January.

I extended this one mainly to include something about why the SS Great Britain was such an iconic vessel.

The SS Great Britain

She sailed a million miles –

thirty two times around the globe –

but came to rest

abandoned and forgotten,

then rediscovered

with rust maps on her hull

charting her voyages

and holes that let through

patterned light

like stars to guide her home.
