NEON NEIGHBOURS poem


from the ABC set POETRY - A Passage of Motion 2

Neon Neighbours

Frightening as death the sea
is a surf of danger
a fearfulness for those
afraid of its measure

promenade not too closely
along its rocky shore.
Beneath waves of steel
a slingshot of pain lingers

and dwellers in seaside
homes are captivated by the
swelling menace.
