Notes from Chesil


The Monitor Stone

At high tide
a black flag
hid the monitor stone

This brought distress
to my family
but not to me

Education of a Fly

Stay still my glamorous scholars
learning is a slow art

A Long Romance 

I shall write you divided letters
as the shingle dictates my pace

I will describe rare hidden rocks
and their jewels within

I will send my comedy to you
as I share your sketched return
with the elders of the sea
