A take on
Guardian’s “ The sea
hath fish for every man”
The sea hath fish
for every man,
The wind blows
cool for all,
The crabs
glide in and out the sand
dunes,
Gnarling waves
pose a threat
If they would
cross the boundary
Swamp the
city with its
heavy toll.
The frothy
foams inculcate a fear
In every man, whose
net caught a bite.
I am before
the edge of
the beach,
Dismayed by the
breaking of the waves
Tossing up
and down,
Luck and loss are
nothing
Before this tricky
Dame of watery
Cove
Who formulates, rings the
rickety
Move of our
life. The Blue
nourishes
The fins and
pearls and oysters.
Now Never and Then, each has
Its meaning and mode.
