Island Man

Island Man (for a Caribbean island man in London who still wakes up to the sound of the sea)

by Grace Nichols

.

Morning

an island man wakes up

to the sound of blue surf

in his head

the steady breaking and wombing

wild seabirds

and fishermen pushing out to sea

the sun surfacing defiantly

from the east

of his small emerald island

.

He always comes back

groggily groggily

comes back to sands

of a grey metallic soar

to a surge of wheels

to dull North Circular roar

muffling muffling

his crumpled pillow waves

island man heaves himself

another London day

I think the 10 most important words are 

1.Island man

2.blue surf

3.wild seabirds

4.sun surfacing

5.emerald island

6.come back

7.grey metallic

8.dull

9.north circular

10.pillow waves

 

 I would really like to wake up one day and be like "oh wow how did I get here" But where I want to wake up it would be Spain. It looks so cool there and Jamaica.
