This is a poem about the sea, and it's one of my favourites from Scottish poet Ali Whitelock, who lives in Australia.

From her collection The Lactic Acid in the Calves of Your Despair (2020).

Simic's most Yorkshire poem

We walked the Hohenzollen Bridge / its monstrous solid steel arches so strong / that even rumbling trains twenty carriages long / hardly made the floor murmur
