VACANCY
Mist and fog and waterspray blind
this winter-of-the-heart hideaway
i stop and wake and sleep again
clouds disguise the fall
I fail to face
as surely as the grave decays
everyday this sheer cliff path
crumbles just a little more
Listen now!
to these screeched warnings of the gulls,
echoing through this thin air
seeing you there
glistening as the light fades away
I slip towards the day.

Well crafted but more importantly enjoyed.
