The Clock Tower Cafe was closing ...

The Clock Tower Cafe was closing - 

A brawny girl cleared away cups and plates -

Gentle pensioners would order scones here above the uncovered sands -

I'd sipped northern tea here - 

I'd read The Yorshire Post -

I'd buttoned up my tweed against the salty wind - 

Now I looked down at the bay - 

Surfers in dark wetsuits found joy in the waves -

Their hair was pearled with spray -
