the sea's dark diatribe rolls

the sea's dark diatribe rolls
like old Bedford on the move
with Italian blood injected
into belief and blasphemy

In Carmarthen there are ways
to sift the sand and salt with words
spinning on a native meter
that comes with a steep tide

I see you coming into age
with old castles and estuaries
thick with teeming time ticking
and laurels of bygone wars

Very good. Your ability to manipulate language is extraordinary. I am sure that you have received your own laurels for victory parades in your life :)
