arse end of the island

 Sitting on the arse end of the island

On bench at the beach

In the drizzling rain

As clouds close the horizon down

I can see a cormorant flying low

Over the grey waves

No sign of any other land

Or anything else

Though I know that out there

People crammed in flimsy rubber dinghies,

Wish they could skim over the sea

Like that cormorant

And join landlocked objects,

Like me and that bollard.
