Our country not forgotten

I really like this. As it stands it is solid piece of work. I note however, that you would welcome any feedback and therefore have had a thought to that old-fashioned thing called 'punctuation' for you to take or leave, at your will...Oh and a slight tweak - 'hits' to 'hit in the first line, second stanza 'marked' to 'streaked' - penultimate line. And in the last line 'a' to 'an'. "Hearts bottled, goodness preserved; retreat of living tissue, perpetual cramp. Thoughts of him hit me like a coastal blow-hole; volumes of essence innocent and storming. Subconscious shutter opens roaring of familiarity, belonging and self-hood. Haunting "peek-a-boo"... And then gone. Seagulls, salt spray, caress tear-streaked face. Immediacy of an alien world." The more I read it, the more I like it. Nice one, indeed;-) and please, feel free to ignore all this...except the fact it's good. Tina
