The Seabirds
The Triffids

No foreign pair of dark sunglassesnwill ever shield you fromnthe light that pierces your eyelids,nthe screaming of the gullsnfeeding off the bodies of the fishnthrashing up the bay till it was rednturning the sky a cold dark colournas they circled overhead.nnHe swam out to the edge of the reefnthere were cuts across his skinnsaltwater on his eyes and arms,nbut he could not feel the stingnthere was no one left to hold him backnno one to call out his namendress him feed him drive him homensay Little boy it doesn't have to end this waynnHe announced their trial separationnand spent the night in a Park Beach Motel bedna total stranger lying next to himnrain hitting the roof hard over his headnshe said What's the matter now lover boynhas the cat run off with your tongue?nAre you drinking to get maudlinnor drinking to get numb?nnHe called out to the seabirds Take me now,nI'm no longer afraid to dienbut they pretended not to hear himnand just watched him with their hard and bright black eyesnthey could pick the eye from any dying thingnthat lay within their reachnbut they would not touch the solitary figurenlying tossed up on the beach.nnSo, where were you?
