in the hour between pallor and sunburn,

while the banana plant wears its heart in a fist

of tiny fruit that will never ripen or open.

In the distance, the little town

waits for its saint to sail in on a leaf

for the second time, and bless its legion of roofs.

Dead gull on Porthmeor

You could use his wing as a fan

to rid yourself of dreams,

you could light a candle at midnight

in the flooded beach hut

and hear the wooden flute

waver its music

like a drop of rain

into a storm,

and the sea would prowl

along the black-wet horizon
