Following a Trawler
A bevy of gulls in a sea-fowl cloud
In fellowship,squabble,whispering loud.
An American doublet...

Summer
Summer writes its name
on the sea,
on the beach,
on the gull's wings
on the trawler
on the pebbles...
they shout summer, summer, summer
Then, it takes its rubber
and cleans everything it's written
Summer comes and goes
when we wink our eyes

The Moon and I
The moon and I
are alone on this night
in the dim yellow light
the mist mixes
strudels like
dead insects
bits of rotting bait
ciggy butts
fish guts
Bottle tops swim
glisten as they swirl
in the pounding waves
across my sunken trawler
The moon and I
are still alone
at first light
no land
no rescue boat
in sight....

Ships are anchored in the bay.
I know most of the ships especially
The coastal runners, the big trawler has left an ugly ship
With a crew of the last chance saloon
No self-respecting seafarer would join a ship
That empties the ocean of life.

I am watching ships come and go in the bay of Cascais.
My plans for the future have been overtaken
By the veracity of the day...

The Skeleton Coast
Morning fog was parting for the day's performance,
and an audience of just me sat cross legged,
waiting for ghosts.
They appeared slowly, one by one.
Old whalers, freighters and, fifty yards out,
slate grey bones scarred with burnt sienna,
a young trawler.
A Cormorant dried its wings on the wheelhouse,
primary feathers spread, glistening ebony,
tattered like a tramp's raincoat.
The surf whispered warnings.
