A Corner full of Characters

—Bruce Pascoe
The blind window eyes of sleeping, sea salt homes guard the stillness of a night, where the moon s pale light chills the bitter gall waves of the ceaseless sea.
Innocent on pillows lie the heads of the sailors, fish scalers, water bailiffs; snoring quietly humped in quilts, are the noses of the landlords,
Overlords, Mothers-in-law;
curled in a foetal sleep so still and warm

I’ll do some photos as soon as I can, the ones in the book are not very legible! Please feel free to point out any typo’s or additional dialogue you might like to add.
I am not sure when Bruce published this book.
