Of Firths and Fathers
In weathers un-listened geography
I await the late years
low ambient yellow
that will dissolve
the drenched slumber
of landscape grey and spindrift froth.
Names of other elemental places
slip beneath the door,
they are given character
of sea scape gust, and mercator projection
softened in the description
"slight"
They veer now,
howling their last
close to battered breath tide,
striking afresh the holm of landfall
where waterline inhales the outrun
of each encroaching wave.
The night splits
and torch lit dawn
illuminates muscular wrestled trees,
bent as hungover drunks.
And you and I sing to their jetsome,
mindless as children
