BLEACHED, BARE RIBS AT NEWLYN, CORNWALL...

 The Bared Ribs Of The Ros Na Riogh…





As if devoured of all flesh

By sea predators, the sad hulk

Bared its bleached bones.

Scoured, rent, dissembled

And deprived of all dignity,

Its rich livery has faded to pastel tones:

A decrepit, distressed, despoiled bulk…

The stripped, listing, rotting Ros Na Riogh, leaning at Newlyn’s Old Quay…

AS IT WAS, ONCE...
