harbour walk

I sit on polystyrene for warmth

beside nylon nets

beach front

fleet of toddlers gathers

in yellow oilskins

sunlight on a gull’s

wings slides invisibly

into sea

looking back at

Old Town above black hulks

atmosphere from beyond

sea front mini golf

toddler stares into a giant

skull’s plastic sockets

above beach walk

man on the cliff top

does hand stands
