How Many?

June 14, 2020 Filed Under: Making, Nature, Poetry

How many grains of sand on Porty beach?
How many waves lick the shore?
How many crabs walk the floor between the groynes?
How many fleas hop in the weed?
How many fish take a plastic feed?
How many wet wipes float between here and Dalgetty Bay?
How many cotton buds buried in the sand?
How much do you love this land?
