Inheritance |
| Surely no one has let the cold jeg their knees |
| Quite happily |
| Lined up a ruler against the seam |
| Where the sky on a too-full stomach |
| Tucks itself into the sea |
| Only I see the water |
| Sugar-glazed to stillness |
| Like two taps with a spoon |
| Would split its lid in two |
| The wind that burls me |
| Does not feel second hand |
| It’s as true as a first-word |
| That repaints the front room it cuts through |
| Sounds stretched to an echo |
| So no one remembers how language used to land |
| The sand |
| Is out the packet new |
| Branded with my shoes |
| Maybe the sun is knackered too |
| Like each of us |
| Wrapped up in our work, and ourselves |
| Dreaming of being shelled by our backpacks |
| And swallowed by the beach |
| Maybe it’s a parent |
| Too tired to keep playing |
| That lies through their teeth |
| Because all pain is small change |
| In the cost of wonder |
| Rising somewhere else while we see it sleep |
| Returning its light |
| In the nick of time |
| So that not a grain is lost |
| Not a bloat of cloud burst |
| Not a wave out of place |
| I must be the first |
| Everything I have |
| Was given to me clean |
| Like the sky burns just to blush my face |
| I have held it up |
| Ungloved |
| Crushed seaweed beneath me |
| Breathed in the beach until I have a new set of lungs |
| But I have never wiped sunrise down my jumper |
| To get rid of fingerprints |
| I never took my shoes off as I came in |
