Poems, stories and thoughts from Galloway, Scotland.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Geology
Walking, I passed between stones
unnoticed leaving left and right
divided by geography.
An accident of place or time?
It wasn't clear but crystalline.
My hemispheres are cut through.
Thought is hard and ordered,
slow; blood seems
an unnecessary fluid,
heart beats a series
of shocks across
tectonic continents of skin.
