Tethered Curlews, Marazion…
Hustling tides parted to negotiate
The Mount, then rushed on
At an angle, a narrow causeway flooding,
Before stumbling against a rocky outcrop,
Driven on by a brisk December gale;
Its hues tended to variegate,
An earlier tranquility gone,
Yet curlews weathered the elements, brooding,
Leaning into the wind, atop
The rock, incongruous, yet unassailed…
