Fishing

Wheeling in slow arcs

the gannet's searchlight eyes scan

through the waves.

Prey sighted,

wings tuck back,

shape refined to dart -

vertical nose dive -

Strike.

The Road from Scotch corner to Brough

Ancient, timeless fields
Glacier carved, dry stone wall shaped
- a canvas for light.

Power?

Hill tops are clad now
with turbines,wind cairns, to feed
our rapacious need.
