Approaching Acheron Passage From the Open Sea
by Claire Beynon
This is no trick of the light -
the headlands are being carried away
stone by rock by stone.
Neither wind nor rain nor day
nor night can deter these gulls:
watch them soar
and plummet, pick clean
the coastline's bones. It's work
and it's a game, their winged insistence
their raucous reclamation.
