Things had remained unchanged for hundreds of years
But in the space of a few short months
You changed everything
What do you keep in that hot stone bucket
Rooks eggs
Is that to encourage them to grow
Into strong and respectable birds
Submarines would patrol our coast
With their cannons primed
They would always travel on the surface
Soldiers in landing craft would haunt the shallows
With their guns at the ready
But they never fired a shot
A pair of gauntlets were lost on the beach
They were never recovered
White maidens would wear pendants
Between their breasts
These were made using coloured sea glass
