By Dom Hewitt
from a certain shore,
you did not look so distant,
and I fell giddy at
the thought of boats.
it was easy to forget
that beneath the sightline
the world is measured
in fathoms.
DOMINIC HEWITT is a librarian and poet based in Oxford. He grew up in a big family in a small village in the west of England.
