The sun is high up in the sky
Smiling down and meeting the shore in a warm and stifling embrace
On the other hand the sea is angry, it’s waves high and mighty
Slapping at the shore and dragging back in fury huge clumps of the earth’s babies
Dragged deep into the sea, where they are never to be seen again
The sun is high in the sky
It’s warm embrace discomfiting and highly inflammatory
As it kisses and caresses the earth in a deadly tango of wills
Between the Sea and the Sun, stands a void overlooked by iron castles
They stand in the distant horizon, iron castles still and glinting like Roman sentries
Watching and silently chronicling
All the different bodies mingling, tangling and trundling along the coastal shore.
Bodies filled with joy, oblivious to the horrors of the sun and the sea
The Sun kissing the earth’s babies before the Sea comes with her deadly embrace to drag them into the world below.
