Kernow/ Cornwall
A rugged and rocky coastline
Lands End
Always.
Mousehole.
St. Michael's Mount.
Laylines.
Cosy harbours and gift shops,
Sennen Cove.
Old Stone and brick ventilation chimneys
For tin mines on hilltops.
Newlyn-coloured-painted skies.
The Red Lion.
The Pirates of Penzance.
The Hawks Well.
Thunderous clouds within touching distance
of our upraised hands.
Proud-pale-eyed-seafaring people.
Familiar Cornish spirit with Celtic fragments
Creating an affinity.
Hand built homes put in place by hardy men
With stone from local quarries.
Statements in granite.
Piers and lobster pots, hanging nets and
Cottages with small rooms.
Broad white chimneys.
Outside, stone-hewn steps leading to cosy lofts
Where Winter nights were wild
And people spoke in subdued murmurs.
Onan hag Oll.
One and all.
