Poems by Jakob Zaaiman on Medium

Eye to keep

A contemporary poem

So like Burt Lancaster
In ‘The Swimmer’,
I somehow expected to have to swim walk
the long five miles back home
- on my own -
in the rain or in
the sunshiny rain,
and then to
have to face up to
a boarded up and
abandoned
and probably
uninhabitable
building.
