Sun beams broken
by the moving shadow
of a gull walking by,
blocking the sky

Overhead baffled
engines whine
out of the blind
descending airline

Flash-bulb bright
Post-rain sight
Fresh little ditty
Witty by the city

Channel rush
twists about
through the breakers
tides go out

Twice a day
Pull moon swoon
Sit on Wharf bench
Croon your own tune
