blind man eating winkles

OPENING THE DOOR WITH A PIN
HE GRUBS FOR PURCHASE,
TUGGING FREE
THE FIRM TWIST OF MEAT
CHEWING IT
AS HE ROOTS OUT THE NEXT .

SPECKLED WITH THE RUST/BROWN
CIRCLES,TRANSLUCENT AS SCABS,
HE COULD SIT HERE FOREVER;
THE RUSTLE OF THE PAPER BAG,
THE SHELLS SCRAPING,THE RUMMAGE
THE SHUCK OF THE WAVES

POEM FROM A PANTED FIELD BY ROBIN ROBERTSON
