Constructions
To reclaim
Buildings now not present
On land leaving behind history
Monument to another past
Passed
Without leaving entirely
Now placed to view
A process of removal
An erasing – of unstable constructs
And making other ways to see
New platforms – for land
That will become
In time
Here – rock is rock
Not a fragment
Rock from rock from all rock
Broken off – has volume
The sand – only smaller rock
All
Rub and roll
With and against – the tide
Slight as it is
The accumulated mass – an aggregate
Moving between bays
Falls deeper – and further
As white sails pass
Keeping distance
From the disassemble
Of mountain
This place
Moved by wind – and water
Shaped
By movement
Metamorphic – already – reshaping
Geology with all its fragments
A single event
Neither past nor future
Simply – always – now
It is not the wind or water that sculpts
The rock is already waiting to be shaped
