Brighstone Bay
Friday, February 27, 2009 at 05:20PM On the flyblown, sandy clifftop
the day's hard, steady blast squeezed us through the vaulted dusk and made us mad,
hissing like a closing valve,
and stiffened the prancing water
into dull elephant hide
that crept forward,
crept back
forward
back
mesmerised
by the white butter moon.
