The gentle
rocking
of the sea’s
touch
a mother’s womb
sharing breath.
We come to life
on the shore
ground and soil
air and salt
in your eyes I
momentarily glimpsed the ocean.
Has there ever
been a day
deprived of this
sense
the familiarity
of
wilderness?
Shallow prayers
this distance
makes me make
for I cannot
foresee
the other I am
becoming.
A gentle rocking
makes me believe
we are where we
should be
and the day’s
end will bring us roses.
Wild
pomegranates
crack open to
replace words
blank papers
spilled red
the sterility of my thought.
When the night
approaches again
everyone will be
seeing in her
a soul trying to
escape
away, away from
the mud.
And I will be
running again
Highlands or
Shetlands
a restless need
even when at
home.
