I am the last tide

I am the last tide of Laugharne
rolling with timed priests and doctors
standing on one leg in sandy mud

winged scholars frozen in I see
facetious birds on winds winking
there is no such thing as more

cockled shelled and beaten by the roll
of evening tamed by sifting why
I see no reason to embrace the dying

reptiled sea bred and furthered to
evening curtains draw one man in all
walking towards night's respite

Yes it is a bit dire. There is a bit of Dylan Thomas thrown in the mix too.

Grim and vivid images . Feels like the aftermath of a battle.
