TELESCOPE
Look out to sea:
a couple of swimmers
battling the waves.
I see a liner
Sending out flares,
A rubber dinghy
Dolphin shaped
Caught in nets
About to sink
Out to sea.
The trick is to turn
The telescope,
An inverted
Periscope,
Into the waters
To see
A mermaid
Struggling,
Caught in seaweed
At the bottom
Of the ocean,
Giant clams
Snapping
Crabs
Rapping.
I put aside
My telescope
And see
A rhinoceros
Approaching the shore
With heavy strokes.
I step into the water
Get hold of his horns
And in one twisting move
Swing him towards
The open sea.
In dreams you are as strong
As you choose to be.
I take my telescope.
Now let’s see,
Thought as much,
He’s taken the load:
Swimmers, passengers
Nets and mermaid
On his back
And rides on gentle waves
Towards me
On the shore
Where I wait
In vain
To welcome them
My scope
Fallen on the floor
Of my torn dream.
AERONWY THOMAS
