| Notes | This poem describes the 'game of the gods' in which storms rage and lightning flashes as refugees make their way down the cliff face to the sea, careful not to leave traces on the sand. There is reference here to dashed dreams and to the perils of sea journeys for apparently undocumented migrants. |
