I see the Menai Strait:
Without both its bridges.
Naked of all its man made-ness.
Void of time.
By the ‘Long Wall of Wales.’
I imagine cattle waders
And farmer traders;
And brave perilous sailors;
Shipwrecked and buried by sand.
I see waves wind turbulent
And whirlpools subservient;
And houses beached malevolent.
I see the Strait of Time;
That is both ‘yours’;
and mine…
Let’s bless the Menai Strait.
