Twirls of seaweed strew
over dimpled rocks
quickly shed free –
across damp sand
playing off each other
papery filaments skitter
and flip
Later, washed over
crisscrossed in a half-smile
frail footsteps recede
disquieting behind me
ribbed with graveyard bones
limestone fragments crumble
wallpapered underneath
in imprecise lines
snippets of ochre conjure
an amoebic design
a patina stained and flecked
Soon the drift of dusk –
unmoored, about to weep
drawn back and back
both beautiful and hypnotic
a bevy of clouds merge
towards the sea
continuously glassy
minute waves lap
almost silent –
gentle against my feet
