Sea of poppies
From Somebody elses book.
Sea of Poppies -
Porcelain Ducks -
Sea of poppies - look in eyes,
red - wind
Brave white horses
racing -
Sea of poppies - look in eyes
Blue
blowing in the wind
Rain -
Pouring down -
Blue sea of poppies - look in eyes
turn to sea-green
A look of love
A new scene
Sea of poppies
Porcelain Ducks
Go back - look in eyes
movement
Shaken sleeves to a white-winged...
Sea-green poppies and rainy fields
Porcelain Ducks -
A lovers look glancing in your eyes
leave carriage to follow lover.........
young, ready and wide awake
Sea of poppies,
A book cover.

One night whilst travelling home late on the tube, i sat opposite a handsome dark-haired man who
was reading - 'Sea of Poppies' by Amitav Ghosh. There was a strange kind of romantic element in the carriage and a very delicate sensuality about the journey, linking it up with a poem to the idea in Clarissa Pinkola Estes' book - 'Women Who Run With The Wolves' of the inner work accomplished during the hard work of transforming base energies into an ideal - 'Porcelein Ducks' (delicate, breakable yet extremely valuable energy) - by a soul.
This poem inspired by the journey, lends a dreamy like quality perhaps instigated by the mans unconscious surpression of pictures he sent out conjured up by the reading of the book - which is itself essentially a story based around the opium trade.
