and the sea, the sea in coil

 

no longer listening the waves
have taken back the coast road
crumpled, the grids of engineers
loosed salt falling from hand rails
the pontoon crane thrown against
the waylaid wreck, now dawdles
hinged of broken jaw rock bucket
dangling, the creek escaping
releases a resinous flash towards
greeting, tumbles brine together
boiling froth spumes reunion
safety vests, cats-eyes over bitumen
roll with the stubs of severed
bridging, already herons survey
the tidal converse of syllables
where the ocean chose to reply
