Unflagging, unflappable, clinker-dragging wind
In battering ram flurries self-expending.
Expedient rending, thatches tore, slates fell,
Holes developed in well-worn awnings, despite myriad warnings.
Defrocking, menhir-knocking tempest.
Restless tents sway in windwhip like widdershins ships parading,
Walls expanding wing-akin, lifted skin reveals naked sin.
Rigid stays torn away.
At gale’s boastful most, nearest Boreas’ throat
A stuck length of rubber tube moves madly with riverbanked fish thrust
Triplets, dishonourable masonic flurries the fury of fairyscurry
Curry-hot not scaring but courage requiring beholding eye
Dutiful Ulysses beautiful and shoeless, only human
Sight-prowed sloop’s keen keel and mythed crew
Waters unsurfable, hard-lipped and inscrutable.
Alchemisland
