Waterlogged cotton blossom
Bogged down
Off the beaten track
So only a perception
Of your reflection
Is in another’s mid-day sun

It is a wonderful world, here, today, with the young boy halfway to sleeping
Rocked, in his mothers arms; her smile also, for certain disarms me
Yet I could not look too close at the thalidomide victim
My prejudices, or fears, or weakness
They all remain too self-certain

Karl and Christine Chilcott
The cotton in the bog, another photograph opportunity
What haste has forced me to abandon my abandon
Instead we pressed onwards, to Cill Rialaig
Where the real artists offer to display their real craft
None which moves me so much as the sculptor in nature
Whose pebble-chess-pieces, and the like
Were photographed by his daughter
Their Last Stop project caught all and more
Much more than I might have captured
From the cotton in the bog

Tellers of Tales
Almost without waking, yet still without dreaming, almost seeming
And almost hoping, hoping, yet still not knowing reason
Also in the valleys, on the road through the black mountains
To be told of the worlds greatest thief, and his more ingenious apprentice
It is the blue-sky morning, with sun’s heat warm and rising
It is the great humanity, shared by those who love sharing
And the days are ever better, and the nights reserved for singing
Mingling with the poets, whose life is of all the seasons
We are jingling two together, for the two together dreaming

Family Familiar
They’ve travelled from far off states to sample seas where heaven waits in their search for roots and equilibrium; to sample life at outdoor’s gate, with rippled blues and mountain views
Harbour all of great escape, her silver greys and spreading ways, to taste the salt of getting laid; sons and daughters, husband and wife, returning to the water, returning to the later life
Sun, sea, breeze and looping light, feeling good and feeling right, rolling wrists in free-on full-on sight; of the beach, as of the day, as of the ways of the wilder night
Travelling far, from way off states, to sample just where justice hesitates
