The Shipping Forecast

She always waited
for the shipping forecast
Faeroes, Fair Isle, Viking
Hoping that one day
he would return
Cromarty, Forth, Tyne, Dogger
Hoping
Hoping one day
that the tide would turn
and carry him home
Forties, Fisher, German Bite, Humber

She was eager to share
Share her good news
Thames, Dover, Wight, Portland, Plymouth
But he was still missing
Missing from the world
Missing from her
Biscay, Trafalgar, FitzRoy
The other boats had returned
Returned safe to harbor
But his had not
Sole, Fastnet, Lundy, Irish Sea, Shannon

She always waited
for the shipping forecast
Rockall, Malin, Hebrides
Shedding tears
as her belly grew
Shedding tears
as her heart shrank
Bailey, South East Iceland
Hoping one day
that the tide would turn
and carry him home.
