A narrow and narrowing bar this time.
Sea’s grabbed it as a harvest neck –
this and strong fingers are tightening round.
An hundred minutes till high tide.

Almost all sand except southward
where green wrack smells as fallen, dead,
scattered from the living order.
Down by The Cove edge, grey stones piled:

skulls and bones pushed down by waves’ crush
North, input increased incrementally
till it crosses over. What had
been intact is now damp and breached.
