Ken Allan Dronsfield Poet Verse

Obsequy

I sketched your pale face in the midst of a bleached sky
waves break over the long granite jetty
                          on cool wet sands
                            I light the pipe.

I'm walking on air barefoot as the waves rush in.
Awaiting the rise of the autumn moon
ballerinas twirl above the sea wall
with angst I slowly drift towards my briny grave.

        As wispy ocean tendrils weep
        Will I be with ghosts of pirates?
                          
                          blasé excuse
                            the sea awaits.
