Brean down swimming

 The slosh and the splosh,

The sway and the spray

The ups and the down

Like a king and his crown

Heads swell

Then shrink

As the knife edge

Always on the brink

The breathing moment

Living in lime

The wash and the slosh

Of a swimmingly good time

And jagged rocks and thought's precipice

The acclimatizing to danger

The body senses take over hands grip then plunge

Movement in the swell

Suspension in the tension of Estuary tide

Ticking geological, theological clocks

How long does it take God to carve these rocks?

Or nature is a floating voter and can be brought to temper

In and out the channel waters, in whichever mood bent her
