A brutal bed ...

The water in the Red Sea is like crystal -

I half listened to the beguiling words -

We were buying diving masks and snorkels -

I'd just seen the sea chart on the wall

There it was -

The Shambles -

Where the poet's brother drowned -

Almost within sight of The Assembly Rooms -

Shingle a brutal bed -

Seaweed in his hair -
