Poems, stories and thoughts from Galloway, Scotland.

Geology
Walking, I passed between stones
unnoticed leaving left and right
divided by geography.

slow; blood seems
an unnecessary fluid,
heart beats a series
of shocks across
tectonic continents of skin.

Thanks very much for listening. Art is an act of generosity and as such is made to be shared.
