Across heather, peat, grey North Sea - the sun Witnessed through eyes that give sleep to the hand Attempts war with the clouds yet still not done Driving the showers beyond the headland Many miles distant from this hilltop view Where the megaliths and cairns of grey stone Lie moss-covered - now visited by few Other than those whose blood, life, soul and bone Were interred here in millennia past So that I before a cathedral sky A solar fireball can see at last God-like rise up, burst out and shine through. Why? Draw near to me now and this burning sphere My hands on your ******* you can feel it here.

The Summer Solstice at Warehouse, Caithness, 2018.
Across heather, peat, grey North Sea - the sun Witnessed through eyes that give sleep to the hand Attempts war with the clouds yet still not done Driving the showers beyond the headland Many miles distant from this hilltop view Where the megaliths and cairns of grey stone Lie moss-covered - now visited by few Other than those whose blood, life, soul and bone Were interred here in millennia past So that I before a cathedral sky A solar fireball can see at last God-like rise up, burst out and shine through. Why? Draw near to me now and this burning sphere My hands on your ******* you can feel it here.
