Keepers (Sumburgh Light, 2015)

Keepers

Sumburgh Light, 2015


Climb
Out of the wind

Still
Where the world falls

Up
Away, away
Down

The shore wears
Waves to nothing
Vanishing into sand
Smithereened 
By black rock

And time
Time stops here
Halted by clouds

Ghosts
Shift, shimmer
Scour, paint and prime
Sleepless
Slaves to the light

Forever watching
Waiting 
Warning

Keepers
