Cliff Walk


(Mudstone Cove, Devon)

The mud is firm today,
puddles are memories;
but still the squall surprises.

Breakers roll in,
as they have for ever,
chased by a north-east wind.

Almost in slow motion,
they succumb to spray.

That yacht in the bay
courts disaster,
hanging on every wave.

Glimpses like photographs:
moments you strive to keep
even if feet know different,

turning for home,
just as the shutter clicks.
