Seed
Shivering on forbidding shores under
cries of wheeling gulls on slate grey sky
we wait for events to unfold,
feeling the blast of sea air coming in,
the salt taste sharp on our tongues,
it drains the blood from exposed skin,
yet your gentle breath wafts close
and warm on nape of neck as I extend
my arm to the far horizon and take
in palm of hand the slowly looming
over-laden boat and encompass it
like a precious incubating seed.

"Eating Evil..." by @Geezer
"Really like the pace and tone of this piece and particularly liked the opening stanzas. A couple of the rhymes sounded a bit forced to my ear, if I'm honest though.. and surely the French don't say Ciao, that's Italian……" -
