Day 77 of the 365 day poem challenge.
Word of the day arboreal meaning: "of or relating to or formed by trees."
Hickson's Wharf
The barnacled posts
Have no time to them
They lay and bake in the sun
Their labour is their life
The wood gently rotting
Under their lips
As the caws of nearby gulls
And the stamp of feet on wharves are easily ignored
There is a beautiful calmness
Written on this afternoon and the
Way the light dances between the peers and the rippling movements of the tides and the straight lines of shadows and shafts of light
That mimic their arboreal selves
That anchors this world together
There is dust and lichen and moss
The world never moves here
And it is always moving.
