blue pool bay

 blue pool bay


a rough bay that some days is filled with fraught

on another day a calm bay when we aught

to look to see

if blue pool itself is under the sea

or is high and dry 

to both we cry

oh no  the wait

or yes yes  we can go in straight


up where it sits as proud as a throne

where king trepidation sits all alone

then looks then leaps 

between the dark sea-weeded wall

teeth’s breath sneers we did it all


up here the easy walk is pathed around

down there it’s a mountaineer’s task

can we ~ did we ~ no need to ask

blue pool rocks  we’re on solid ground 


oh my pristine sandy bay

you have always been this way

under unscalable cliffs 

bombing gulls with screaming riffs

or out across to the point with the hole

where the stranded starfish are on parole

look there it is 

yes burry holmes 

the next stop on our epic roam
