I was in Margate a few weeks ago

And decided to visit The Man of the Sea

But I was unable to do so as a woman

Was standing on the rock next to my friend

Posing for photographs which I am sure were very good

 

Time was short so I caught the next train to Plymouth

As a new installation had been erected above the sea

Look II would however not be covered by the tide

As was the fate of the of its Margate cousin

 

I have created a sea sculpture on a Cornish beach

Which is hidden from view at present

A number of my friends (both male and female)

Have posed naked next to my creation

And I am currently using their photographs

To illustrate my latest book of poems

Poems that Face the Sea
