A strong quick fluster of crayon lines
jabbing through into storm waves
blue wash
over grey,
and green within both;
and slow broad unripe depths atop
drawn stab marks joining rock and rocks
tenuously despite encroaching sea
breakers rising moving crabwise
brown smatterings of weed break up
cream and white and dangerous continuity
The Gugh may be solid beyond
the east of Agnes
but it’s not whole
all this a sundering of one
into two, and three if sea’s a thing
