Some more poetry

This week gone has been mostly about writing, and a bit of drawing. The poetry for the Autumn section is becoming very interesting, allowing me to make associations that I have been struggling to make otherwise.

The Channel

The channel surges like a bellows

Pumping daily oceans;

The heartbeat of the earth

Artery clogged, failing.

Calcification, ancient lands submerged

Sunken bells tolling and toiling

Dunwich, Lyonesse, Blackgang

Disappearing world…

Floating world…

Donated by the grateful people of Japan.

See then this:

A great wave

Rolling across the infinite Atlantic

The distant tropical drumming;

Wireless communication.

Cliffs like teeth.

The wires running through them

Ready to be pulled

Out, taut, off.

The bones of time revealed.

Expanding outward

The circle, the centre

Contracting inwards,

The centre, the circle

Wheel and web

Coast and network;

A boundary of nothing.

A house on the borderland.

A gate on the bridge.

A line in the sand.

But still, the great wave

Tomorrow I shall be making the second of the autumn section walks. This will mark the completion of more than half of the photography.
