I send greetings from this place
to my neighbours across the water
I bid them welcome to my mind
I bid them welcome to our future
and I grieve that in the present
some people on this small island
have been bewildered and ill-led
into thinking water can be wall
and a little and invented “we”
can be a separate, better home
than true connection, I to thee,
each frail on a cliff-edge, sharing the sea.
