Strata


Vast bands of sky and sea and sand

layered like rock strata,

the sand’s seaweed veined skin

pulled tight by wind, the sea


welded flat to the shoreline;

white crested waves crumble

chalk into flint grey water,


granite clouds press down hard

enough to sharpen a blade on.

This landscape runs through me

as I run through it, crack it


open and you’ll find me there,

a seam of something different

caught between it’s layers.
