ON THE FIFE COAST OF SCOTLAND

iron shore


How many sailors and how many fishermen
have ridden this bitter sea
which tares itself to shreds
on this iron shore?
How many fishermen and how many sailors
groped at hopes stolen by the wind?
How many have scattered their bones
across this ocean floor?
And how many tears were shed for lives that are no more
