Poems on Performance – The Entertainer in Great Yarmouth
The Entertainer in Great Yarmouth
Sea – her as God.
Blue arms unfolding
transparent pages to
Sun and Moon who
read every motion.
Dayrise Sea
her aquarium brains
winding up The Pier,
as she rolls to Radio One –
‘Bang Bang’ and ‘Boom Clap.’
Afternoons bore away
relentless sandcastles.
Bored of promising mythic deliverance
Sea her: passively destroy, persuasively coo
‘To look, merely, is enough. Look.’
But we cry inside summer shelters
for bodies we barely knew.
