Chesil Beach, in isolation on a sunny day

Soon to be consigned indoors,

she climbed the high bank of the barrier beach,

lay down on pebbles,

Chesil's smooth shingle,

and listened to the sound of the sea.

A few days ago:

A Jingle on Chesil Beach

(an encounter in the time of Coronavirus)

“I want to mingle on the shingle!”

“It’s much safer to be single -

keep your distance, out of reach!”

“You’re not the only pebble, rebel,

there are plenty on the beach!”
