Winter caught in a net of stars ...

Ben put down his moonshine -

Only hardcore boatmen drink there now he said -

I walk there with Flash, foraging for the stove -


I pictured the pub on the remote cut -

The dour Olive behind the bar -

The derelict stables facing the dark water -

The ale in a tall glass -

The sky in the window -

Winter caught in a net of stars -
