Off lone island bay,
Outlander waves are praying,
Curly in their white caps.
Cars and lorries are creeping
Into a village still sleeping,
Coming in from nowhere.
Stones have things to voice,
There are stars of rock fish
Deep in bays with the moon.
Beyond night dream are lochs,
Darks and colds of longings,
Mountains old as confusion.
Birds chime their mouth musics,
Churlishly sent over moorlands,
All questions ring unanswered.
On broke beaches are notions
Of days strung to faraways
And sands bleached ancestral.
Off lone island bay,
Simple comings, waves, goings,
After sly moon, sun has its say.
