While the Drood's away at Edwin Drood's Column
As Drood's long tea break appears to be turning into a sabbatical,
we continue with another poem by Hugh Featherstone.
 
Jeep

In the torn half
of a photograph
a flea market memo
from long before

Curled like an embryo
in the womb of history
'mid the late summer heat
of the last just war

Lies an American
cradling a jerry can
asleep in a jeep
in France, in '44






From Bird under water, a selection of poems by Hugh Featherstone

Poems from this selection appear when the Drood's away.

The Bird under water homepage includes a foreword by Hugh Featherstone
