Saying Goodbye to the Island
© Kim M. Russell, 2016
The sea rises
Eating away the coast
Until the village
Becomes an island ghost
Deserted
Derelict
Dangerous
Haunted by gulls
And scavengers
A watery soundscape
Of bubbles and splashes
Rumbles and crashes
Accompanies the tidal creep
While the last traces of habitation
Await the final slip into the salty deep
