As promised:

Dropped shells
before Peter Wells’
truck
stuck
in the ceaseless pause of summer demand

Light
bites into night
Hungry for more

Sand
and
sand
in hair
underwear
under chair and foot

Words here
in the air
where once was only
air

Gull with shell
story to tell
of the great migration
from hibernation
they come
by foot and wheels
to heel
at Ferry’s gate.

Summer
On Chappy
you and me
Happy next to the C
