Flail
new season
claws out
round one

Highland Games
baby alice
awaits her turn
upon the wheel
Highland Games
just fun
in the sun

Emigration
ripples flee confining bay
bearing sung memories
to foreign shores
Ghost
ghost bag
wailing on wire
in evening gale
Line made by walking
between two tides
a line made by walking
gone at the turn
