Hulks
Grasses shifted by estuary breezes
Hissed an accompaniment
To featured birdsong;
Warm sun baked the inviting mire
Around rusting iron,
Yet graffiti emphasised ignorance…
Weed shifted by tidal river
Attested an encroachment
To lush vegetation;
Warmer sun hardened the streaked mud
Around concrete hulks,
Yet vandalism symbolised irreverence…
Plaques, nestled by caring ‘Friends’,
Invoked a folklore
To twisted wrecks;
Warmest sun stripped the bleached wood
Around absurd projections,
Yet peace exemplified significance…
