Shhh

Then, it was natural,
to hear the sea remembered in those airlocks and chambers
though I soon knew it might as well
be anything - forest fires, landslides, hurricanes
falsified by distance
or amplification; the white noise
of the wider elements

or the mild chaos
as she puts her lips to your ear
and you cock your brain to catch
her general drift - her blandishments,
the breath drawn at your touch:
I no longer believe what I hear

- Don Paterson (again)
