Eva On the Beach

An unexplained fragment; a ship`s finger
Breaks through the crust of wet sand,
Alive with the last push of tide, salt

With no start or end;just a horizon
Of poor grass and toy ships and
the saline tears of fish; If you turn

This morning round in a wind of seagulls..

But,you say,

Unlike a picture this cannot be changed
Unlike a story this is not a ring.
