Hovering on above Caithness (Northern Scotland – Orkney)

Jun 29, 2014

arctic skuas, guillemots and black backs,
probing – swaying –
with low and high motion
intersplicing

marks of ancient vegetation on wet stone, green moss and seaweed metal rusted machine parts piled up short dark grass, sun hitting wild bird eggs, cracked from metal white painted beams, to red curved cliffs behind marks, calligraphic, rock signs perhaps, ochre with dark blue black shapes figure shadow below, inside the texture of rock shards, beyond bright tarmac hillscape, hill in cloud maybe, into cloud space transparent water, sun reflecting or the moon with a ladder reaching down

retrieving coordinates –
rangag, ruard
glas mheall liath, coir a’ghiubhsachain
skaill, point of hellia

splitting through eastern sutherland
hovering above caithness,
plunging into clear green depths shining,
from waters to coconut fragrance melting yellows,
beyond into wide moors – back then to orcadia
