Today Rod Bugg's 'biscuits' have appeared in Looms Lane, celebrating the plasticity of clay. The poem is by Sue Burge. 
Picture
ship’s biscuits
     
hard tack   each one
     teardrop stamped
weevil ridden survivors
     of shipwreck and mutiny
 
how sailors would have loved
     to discover honey
locked in these bonehard rusks
     thick unexpected slick
their rolling dreams sweetened
with the buzzing of an English summer
