Ferry
a world on its own
the ferry weaves her own pattern
on the grey blue screen
Bridging
small or wide, the sea
lying between land and tongues
the ferry bridging
Lapwing
swerve of lapwing
across grey cloud
lifts the spirit
Wave

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
Leaving
leaving the islands
sailing back to the mainland
busy roads await
Poem: Chris Maclullich
