Haiku
Window
from kitchen window
the ocean is darkening
glimmer from Heisker
Poem: Chris Maclullich
Air
wind swirls past the house
air from the Caribbean
now lifts the peat smoke
Poem: Chris Maclullich
Pebbles
the ocean sighing
rattles through the bright pebbles
same noise for aeons
Poem: Chris Maclullich
Walls
deserted croft house
I look inside the old walls
these were my people
Leaving
leaving the islands
sailing back to the mainland
busy roads await
Poem: Chris Maclullich
Feet
Birth
Stare
the long stare out
to the wide dark line where the sea
drinks down the sky
Scribbles
on wet sand, waves scribble
long fine lines, poems etched
along the shore for you to find
Text Pauline Prior-Pitt
Veils
no one notices
how waves spread across the shore
like bridal veils
Text: Pauline Prior-Pitt
Cross
a cross, quickly scratched
does not disturb this relic
poised, grey and lichened

Guillemots
pair of guillemots
whir away from the ferry
their fishing disturbed
Walk
grey contours define
cloud, rock, ocean, horizon,
shadows conspiring
Home
broad expanse of light
only Eabhal interrupts
breathe because I’m home
Tower
the water tower
entering Balivanich
a coffee filter
