how to inadequately describe a sea swim
the sea always different
sometimes out
sometimes in
obviously
sometimes half way
then there’s the rip
rough calm black blue cloudy
thoughts suspended in a stir of sand
black stormy sky east
bristol way
the surf and then the spume blown
by an east wind
laying like a crocheted doily
linen like
then suddenly
the sun comes out and it is dazzling
whiter than heaven
dazzlingly awesome
look how i stand mesmerised
around me no one to say
look look
oh wow wow
i do
out loud
then
it’s gone slowly slowly slam
black is the loneliness
of eyes that are shut
just the sensation of cold water
all that is left is physical
until the next rebirth
of the death pull
under my toes
