"A Place Unseen (Part 1)" published in Pushing Out the Boat Volume 3 (2003).
A poem sequence.
I. Dawn Flight
"Your bag is checked for matches.
You zip up your survival suit..."
II. The Mud Room
"Bodies of air that shouldn't mix..."
III. No Tree
"Exiles, stowed away on boats.

two hundred miles off John O'Groats..."
IV. Platforms

V. 9-9-99
"The cables of the hooks shake in the wind.
He is waiting for the last digit to click round..."
VI. On the Beach
"I was a member of the reception team..."
