a tenby evening in august

 a tenby evening in august


mud weeded the drying boats

heads cocked at all angles

listening to the tales of the sea

under the warm murmur of the town

it’s long streets harbour chained and warm

the gulls eeking out their supper’s shadow

from a moon rising over the bandstand

where lovers sigh deep in darkling time

whispering nothing that could forestall 

the ebbing to sleep of a rare memory 

that once laid down in the always way

will kiss when the clock strikes one
