The flags

The flags Matthew Paskins Award Winner - Simon Elvin Young Poets of the Year, Young Poets on the Underground ' Ships reflected on the waves are flags of countries yet unknown whose borders are identified by sunlight on the pavingstone. Unfurl the flag. Go on. Unfurl the bridge bands on the river-skin the battle-ships and towers in the melted pearl maybe a story, as well that skims the water's upper-edge, the walk beside the silver-dance when the light is on the Thames.'
