'CLUSTERS' : A NEW POEM ABOUT MOUSEHOLE, CORNWALL...

Clusters

The absence of colour strips Mousehole
To an angular cluster
Of dwellings and chimneys
And pallid walls on slopes;

Missing sails turn fishing vessels
Into a vertical cluster
Of masts and clinking 
And sodden lines of ropes;

Silent figures near The Ship Inn
Form a grim cluster
Of boatmen and fisherfolk
And narrow lives of dwindling hopes…
