The path to the sea:
a history of
ghostal footfall
shortcutting
through the marram.
Impatient children
glimpsed the sea
and headstrong, headlong,
breached the defence -
bleeding the beach
through the dune.
The punctured grasses
step aside
under the assault
and noisy charge
of adventurers,
buccaneers,
pirates
or home-guard defenders
in their theatre
of imagination.
