Poetry: I Walked Along the Harbour’s Edge

‘I walked along the harbour’s edge / In the middle of a winter’s storm…’

I walked along the harbour’s edge

In the middle of a winter’s storm

People watched me, hunched in corners,

I don’t know what they thought

Likely, they never guessed the truth -

We played this game, the storm and I,

as friends and as enemies: Every step I took

My victory
