Nothing to see here, unless there is (Novichok) | on the beach under the ground

.

epa editor's choice 05 July 2018: Queen Elizabeth Gardens in Salisbury remains closed and cordoned off as investigations continue into how Dawn S. and Charlie R. were found unconscious on Saturday night, in Amesbury, Britain, 05 July 2018. Charlie R. and his partner Dawn S. had allegedly been exposed to the nerve agent Novichok, according to police. #QueenElizabethGardens #Unconscious #NerveAgent #Salisbury #Amesbury #Britain #UK #UnitedKingdom #epaphotos Photo epa-efe / Rick Findler: image via epaphotos @epaphotos, 5 July 2018

Two days ago, the news broke that two people in #Amesbury, England (not far from the site of the Skripal poisoning) were poisoned with an unknown chemical agent. Police have since announced that the two recent victims were, like the Skripals, exposed to #Novichok.: tweet via Conspirador Norteño @Conspirador0, 7:37 PM 5 July 2018

on the beach under the ground
 
many high waves strand
   kids
      in labyrinthine cave complex

on ledge named
   after breast of young woman
      2 weeks coach feels bad kids flag

we understand 
   clouds gather
      water rises

night falls
    migratory flocks escape
      the doomed island

I strolled through Elizabeth Gardens a day before this thing erupted. Strange to see somewhere so familiar on the computer screen. There's a wonderful river and footpath that gives you an entirely different perspective of the cathedral surrounded by trees and wheat - unchanged from Constable's time. Fine poem amongst the photos, Tom.

Thank you, Jonathan, and yes, what a lovely place and Oh my, what are we to do, or think?

I thought of Hardy bicycling to Southampton to see off Drummer Hodge, for some reason.
