neap tide – poem and film
Delighted to see my poem from the film neap tide published in issue 41 of The French Literary Review, editor Barbara Dordi, with thanks and good wishes, here’s the poem and film link:
neap tide
we bring beginnings
bless and overlook
this silvery sea
hag-stone, pebble, snail
her rocks green-like weed
smooth, flat, velvet fur
we lay our clothes here
by steep pebble-slide
saltiness, breath, breeze
to deep warming sea
in wind and in rain
from every neap tide
on imagined lengths
stretching out for France

lapses in time
our latest poetry film features a special journey in a 2cv6 special
lapses in time
snowdrops come
leave and return
we roll along
in a little car
trust to something
simple, without intent
error, mistake, deceit.
a place for honour
marks each bench
with undulation
mine-sea deep
shingle beach
pier, shoreline
fishing fleet.
castle, fortress
bandstand, hut
low island
swept away
to fine sand
lapses in time
danger, shelter, hope.
