These nightmares follow me to
every shore I find has already been dug
Upstairs is everyone sat waiting
to feast and talk about the days ahead
We know you’d rather be dead
So, we’ll strip you of your head
These five glaciers
force valleys in soft flesh
with no less strength than the real thing
Carving through the ages to reveal
the patchwork glistening
Let me walk your coast
marvel at formations fired years before
Finding forests in the sand
warped rings in stone on your sea floor
Scale your fruiting trees
gather greedily, savour stems and pulp
Crushing, squeezing every bead
Every droplet gone in one gulp
Sewing pits and stones by hand
Muffled moans, plains and meadowlands
Running faster than my feet
Tumbling down hills made of sand
Seeking shelter from the storms long gone
with others taking form
Huddled bare in bliss
I’ll savour this bed of soft tapered bone
Huddled bare in bliss
I’ll savour this
