Here is an extract from the poem:
Hipper and Onslow, sea-horses
Entwining, as one turned the other
Also, on parallel courses
Steaming, a zig-zag raking
The forenoon, as two forces,
From each other breaking.
Manoeuvred for position
Like squids squirting their ink
In defence, ship smoked sky
Round them, camouflaging.
Alan Ross, The Derelict Day: Poems in Germany, John Lehmann, 1947
