Island Man (for a Caribbean island man in London who still wakes up to the sound of the sea)
by Grace Nichols.
.
Morning
an island man wakes up
to the sound of blue surf
in his head
the steady breaking and wombing
wild seabirds
and fishermen pushing out to sea
the sun surfacing defiantly
from the east
of his small emerald island.
.
He always comes back
groggily groggily
comes back to sands
of a grey metallic soar
to a surge of wheels
to dull North Circular roar
muffling muffling
his crumpled pillow waves
island man heaves himself
another London day.

The place I would like to wake up in...

One of the places I've always wanted to wake up in, would in the Bahamas Islands "Poseidon's Undersea Resort". Waking up underwater would be something really new and extremely cool and the luxury in there looks really relaxing.
