Eight-line Poems

Snapshot

In the shallows at Kynance,
sand eels darting through the ripples,
the water green above the white sand,
blue out in the deep and the rocks
massive and scattered all around
like a sculptor’s workshop,
with the sea lapping into the caves
of greasy, green and purple stone.
