On The Beach
They search and search,
the hikers in the blow
of last night’s storm,
then they stop.
Stand and gaze
into a still pool,
misty with sand blown.
The waves still crash and spray.
There’s nothing in the pool
but sand and stones
they’re sure of it now,
but out there
beyond,
they’ll still search on,
out there in the blue blow
of the death zone.
Godot
He sits
still
waiting
composed
straight backed
gloomy
in contemplation
and silence
watching
the telly
everything
switched off.
Oh God
such gloom.
God is dead
he heard
them say
but still
he waits
watching
waiting
oh God
still waiting.
