Allusion to Classical figure Gaia (as in Life on Earth's 2008 'Homage to Gaia' sequence).
Comment There are echoes of the previous poem 'Ithaca' (An Autumn Wind, p.13-14) in this contemplation of the poet's retreat to "a dozy seaside town [...] after so many a fugitive year".
Note Also collected in New Collected Poems, Gallery Press, 2011, p.333.
