Lamorna Minerals…
Rockery-folly packed into the east cliff
Above neat cottages:
Crazy paving
Waiting to scatter dwellings
Like pins behind an alley,
Beyond saving.
Mined stone abandoned high on cliff
Above beached defences:
Crumbled wall
Lingering to suffer carnage
Like sandcastles before a tide,
Engulfing all.
Rounded boulders washed onto rising shore
Above unlikely dip:
Churning weed
Thrashing to wrestle free
Like flies between web’s tangles.
Pointless indeed…

Lamorna Cove.
The images are from visits over the last few years and the damaged harbour arm has now all but vanished...
A damaged sea-wall, rounded stone once spewed from the sea at the top of a ‘beach’ and a package of rock, bundled like firewood above a couple of cottages.
