Second Generation

Driving higher, and higher, 

Away from the bay 

Inland towards the road 

Away from Hartlepool.


Up on the left diagonally 

A windmill's perched, 

Winged merlin, 

From Before.


Higher still; we witness 

The pursuit: 

Revealed from over the brow, 

About to grasp and swallow.


A turbine, 

Massive, clean and new, 

Relentless, outstretched, 

Talons bared, 

Reaching down for generations yore. 


A pellet might reveal, 

Remains of yesterday 

Spewed from now.
