watercolour
a windowpane
dusty
laced with cobwebs
looks out to sea
where
shafts of yellow light
pierce a blackened sky
sand sparkles
flecked with silver
the tide recedes
leaving
the shoreline awash
green with foam
and seaweed
footprints weave
a mazy trail
to the water’s edge
a visible sign
some human presence
passed
this way
a shadow-line
blurring the transition
between
land and sea
where solid
and liquid
blend incoherently
and vanish
into each other
far out
to sea
a seagull sails
aloft
white form merging
into black space
rain begins to fall
trickles down
the windowpane
and all
the colours
bleed together
into an ash-grey
flood
a windowpane
dusty
laced with cobwebs
looks out to sea
where
shafts of yellow light
pierce a blackened sky
sand sparkles
flecked with silver
the tide recedes
leaving
the shoreline awash
green with foam
and seaweed
footprints weave
a mazy trail
to the water’s edge
a visible sign
some human presence
passed
this way
a shadow-line
blurring the transition
between
land and sea
where solid
and liquid
blend incoherently
and vanish
into each other
far out
to sea
a seagull sails

white form merging
into black space
rain begins to fall
trickles down
the windowpane
and all
the colours
bleed together
into an ash-grey
flood
