EBB - Ed Tullett

Plane, your ivory dealt

Stubborn message in your health

Mirror me, a wealth

Unsheathed in maraud, in mouth

Trawled in starry mercy

When white of eye deserts me

Stays hidden in your birthing

Of love you clouded in

A beach raid of sorts

Marine ebb you’d caught

Ghosted and belonged

You lasted us

A beach raid of sorts

Marine ebb you’d caught

Ghosted and belonged

You lasted us

From then it snowed of sun

Dark kisses, cheeks you’d run

With red, the smoke begun

And lingered in eighty lungs

Navy swatches of your skin

Sink gloom and patterned sin;

Your posthumous Berlin

Your aching seething in

A beach raid of sorts

Marine ebb you’d caught

Ghosted and belonged

You lasted us

A beach raid of sorts

Marine ebb you’d caught

Ghosted and belonged

You lasted us

The dark had shrunk your shoulders

Your shadow ever older

The colour earned in lucid

Colder lips by now, now, now

The dark had shrunk your shoulders

Your shadow ever older

The colour earned in lucid

Colder lips by now, now, now
