2. easthaverfordwest

austere female wardens shut

on time access to castells or caers

two ends of a forked spectrum

afon cleddau from east an' west

recalls picton, williams, newton

an' carew clan/destined trails with or

without cricket starving southern

colonies high tide equanimity

bold misadventure anywhere fish dread

hungry aggressive seagulls. Stalking

crossable bridges and rusty rail dreams of brunel

connecting regenerated walled towns

spanning ports. Here tourists ponder

bargains seeking fleeting pleasures

hoping repatriated alternative prices

remedies for swollen ripened discontent

or relief of weather near ole'

borders. Cambrian peaks frame shooting

stars that hover with drenched cardigan's amazement

by one luna's rainfall measure in an hour

flooding summer news, blood of the innocents,

parents beseeching "get our boys back home"

so no tears- armed serving daughters

rumours of impeachment abound
