Accra, March 6 1958 ...



I looked once more at the photograph - 

There was my dad, in Accra, on March 6 1958 - 

He didn't look like my dad - 

He looked like a lean chancer, a man with more than one passport - 

He's sitting, smiling, on a bench, next to a young boy from the city - 

There's no sign of the grey ship which will carry him to colourless harbours -
