Liminal Concerto no 1

Maxine Smillie


Rock Stone Wall.
Rock Stone Wall.
Currents, debris, rise and fall
Currents, debris, rise and fall.

Lip lapping on concrete edge
Boundaried human/nature force.
Wild and free, next to man’s pavement laid.
Sea butts to nibble, weaving away the illusory safety.

Rock Stone Wall
