Gulls

 

Dazzle-bellied off the graphite sea,

curds flying from the churned-up agitation

of the tide; the ocean’s mouth foaming, venting

furiously onto the beach at Rossnowlagh.


Inside the thunder-ear, climbing the grey air,

slicing the storm, they stitch cloud and water, screaming

obscenities at each other; thrashing and wheeling

in the cage between a ferocious earth, indifferent Heaven.
