the navigator

 the navigator


dick howells was his name

an old retired navvy of long tales 

my dad had fissures in his fingers

from too much cementing of his days

here said dick proffering a stick

of a waxy concoction dressed in string

melt this in a candle and rub it in

and that was the end of the bloody thing
