shrieks

they found
her
alone
on
lower
strand
where
sea
reluctantly
leaves
for
least of
times
the caress
and embrace
of shore
and shingle

the Atlantic
had not
been
kind

foetal

abandoned

broken

wrecked

hair
blood black
on mussel
bed
black
rock

face
mercifully
down
in white
sand

naked
sleeping
creeping
waves

they said
it was a
bad lot

they say
he should
have stayed

they pray

a gull
circling
malevolent
present

shrieks
