  • On The Surface

    . Down by the quayside where fishermen know to sit young seal making hay ~ n.b. I had heard of this young pup’s arrival a week ago and today I saw it surface a few times. Despite the snow in the wind, a woman had taken her coat off to sit on it on the

I watch the waves of the high tide break into the sea wall of the lower concrete promenade. I listen to the
