Well, friend, we’re here again,

sauntering the last half-mile to the land’s frayed end

to find what’s laid on for us, strewn across the turf –

gull feathers, bleached shells,

a whole bull seal, bone-dry,

knackered from the rut

(we knock on his leathern head, but no-one’s home).

Change, change – that’s what the terns scream

down at their seaward rocks

fleet clouds and salt kiss –

everything else is provisional,

us and all our works.

I guess that’s why we like it here.

Listen: a brief lull,

a rock pipit’s seed-small notes.
