Long time No Sea


The burnished coast
Green as a pea
Hungary boasts
An inland sea
Where the Holy Ghost
Is in no poverty

The manicured devils finger nails
Ripened claws
As the moonlight pales
Walking east from Minehead’s Pier
The glassy sand, the grassy dune
The monthly moon in Luna phase
As a night sky on Holidays
Easter Fete of spraying water
Over the daughter the Mother, the bride
Or father’s pride
By the boy, the man
The man over board
The Buoy out at Sea
Lost asking in return for saving a wilting flower
Can you with a Piros Tojak (red Egg) save me?

Long time no Sea
In Hungary
Landlocked but knows the Loch, the lake
The lace of Gossamer
Webs like a misty white sea
Over fields or meadows
Where the swallows and swifts
Are the fish
The insects the creel
The whales the loafing cows
Treading through the long grass swells
Like monks saying vows
And little gofers like dolphins
Popping up their heads
Sharks like foxes
Sniffing out ways to be fed

The Sea is the land, the land is the sea
Because what we’ve planned
Is what we can be
And what is possible
There’s no impossibility in endless ocean
In rolls of Mountains
In the fractal geometry
The Partial differential equations
Of change time geology
In topography of sky, sea and land
Interchangeable as three dimensions
Of Space or time
Stretched intermingling

Through the human mind
