on the beach
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
