Time in St. Ives


Outside, the wind’s a howling beast,
more unpredictable than dragons
and water lifted from the sea
washes blue sky grey.

Off shore, a killer sea
waves out – then in – predictably
and moon time people crab along
from blinking caffs and shops.

Caressed by sun, clockwork town;
a timepiece ticking on.
