on the beach

some blustery wilding weather  
which changes the sky changeable  
blowing up from the unknown south  
the unknowable south  
where seabirds and whales reign over steel blue swell  
and grey white foam of impersonal possibility  
streaks out consolation that there might still be  
some dark primordial corner of the earth where we are not  
and where it might yet be possible to drown alone and unforgiven  
drinking in the salty air and the clear light  
in ozone coloured dream
