Swanage steeped in strangeness ...



Walking to the Quarr Gallery, I saw the mist come in from the sea - 

The air grew cold - bare legged visitors shivered on the esplanade - 

Moment by moment, the seaside town was steeped in strangeness - 

Wraiths swirled through the arcade - buildings became palaces of smoke - 

When I left the meeting, two hours later, I heard the sound of the invisible sea - street lamps spun balls of light - 

I wore a crown of vapour - my footsteps took me to the edge of the world -
