It's Still Life

A Prelude

There’s music
in the sea air, it’s
in the damp plaster walls
and the grey shining windows.

Music’s in
the stained mattress
and the rusty taps that once
spilled with water. It leaves its
mark behind photos on the wall.

Music falls in tiers,
peals off the shingle beach,
floats on the sea in this place
where music begins.
