To see this scene
Turner must have covered up
the sun, and like an existentialist
examined its light
on buildings, boats, people, waves,
the sky. Then closed his eyes
and imagined
how it must have been.

Turner’s last words were reported to have been ‘The Sun is God’.
If you have any thoughts on this poem, Tristan
Moss would be pleased to hear them.
