Mussels

Tiree Moments 2007

I bought mussels

Pickled in a jar

I had a need

To get the sea inside me too

But time and vinegar

Had taken it from them

They were like an old photograph

Of another sea

Mmmm... mussels, just ate them yesterday, yet of course they should be fresh, not pickled, otherwise you get that effect, which is a nice metaphor though...

Enjoyed this. I like the comparison with the old photograph. 
 
Cheers.

Of the set, I think this is my favourite. The attempt to absorb part of your surroundings - and then disappointment. Vinegar/bitterness can rob of of much.
