I so enjoy listening to poetry being read by the poet, it gives me a further insight into how they intended it be heard.
The words say so much more than their first meaning, and speak to me in strange ways. I spent some time in Tokyo for work many years ago and it reminded me of that time, but also where I am now, in Wales, where I don’t yet have full command of Welsh, and don’t yet comprehend all the cultural nuances. I’ll get there, for I am staying. Wales has captivated me, in all its glory.

Great poem.
Thanks man. Getting into the voiceover work too. I'm told I have this kind of Johnny Cash tenor. I'm gonna keep tryin' it out!
