This intangible craving for something so unattainable is little more than a lovely fantasy but it'll do for now. It goes like this: Your hair is a whirlwind about your skull As the Ayrshire wind batters us. Thick sweaters and reluctant smiles. Damp wool and lovesick laughter. A thin sodium layer misted onto our skin, Granules of sediment beneath our nails And in the fibers of every stitch. Thin fingers, exploring uncharted land. Lukewarm, stale coffee turned cold. Cold lips turned warm and wet. Secrets whispered, never retold. The rain falls down on Scotland's shores Again.
Written on a typewriter initially, therefore hasty and unedited. A fantasy put into words.
