Murmuration pier
In a bitter late winter’s light
On a smoggy backdrop of the sun’s goodnight
Score of arcade pop and sirens sound
Cameras clicking and public astound
Consume the scene, they flock, they swarm
The show is now and now they perform
Like cooling tea in morning sun
They stroke the surface then swirl up as one
Tiny fibres, they vibrate the same
The silent murmurs that gave them their name
Blue, still promenade border
Leaves a stretch with a little more natural order
Jutting out a small way from land
And with that, away from the chaos in hand
While some elate, others look away
No time for a natural wonder today!
Yet only a few who you wish would just care more
For the dreamy delight you’re so glad you were there for
