Margate Sands


On Margate Sands

I can connect

Nothing with nothing



I am watching

The Sea Pool

Being swamped

By an incoming tide

It is a cruel witness

Eliot’s sea shelter

Is now being repaired

After years of neglect

Which has made me

Very Happy

The beach is deserted

Save for visitors from afar

Who appear to be measuring

Each grain of sand

A useless recreation I think

I am collecting sea glass

And looking for interesting stones

The famous light

Is hiding behind the clouds

It will display itself again
