My Grandfather\'s Tattoo

On sunny days, his shirtsleeves rolled
he’d cover with a sticking plaster
like the wound of Welsh he wouldn’t give his children
the blue-green inks of anchorage, the shame.

My Grandfather\'s Tattoo

On sunny days, his shirtsleeves rolled
he’d cover with a sticking plaster
like the wound of Welsh he wouldn’t give his children
the blue-green inks of anchorage, the shame.
