There's a rough-made weathercock towards the beach,
just now with a blackbird singing joy
at the top of the metre-long upright,
4 inch square unplaned,
a very big I against an empty sea.
Either side are wired S and N,
Last evening E was dark in gloom
This morning, though, E stands out doubled,
itself turned widdershin and itself reversed,
a shadow readable, spelling S E N and N E S,
blood and its opposite, instant coffee
I wrack my brain in charged free sunlight
still reading the injunction - sin -
while Eden becomes NEED
