high and dry

high and dry 


the sea horse is tethered

sea-washed and glossy 

on the banks of the taf

horsey we say 

horsey do say

why not white riding away on the sea

why are you loiterIng here in the lee 

of a moon-struck castle

a boathouse marooned 

as away pulls the tide 

away on the flow

what can you do now 

but sleep until morn

i’ll see you anon and maybe

lend a hand to see your fat bottom

away off the land

sleep watertight and we might

meet the dawn sun that speaks

of the meander of the sea 

in the mud eely creeks

so away 

off you go 

your treasure to seek

so to speak
