That's better. Now for a fresh look and listen.
Inside the smell of dried fish. Outside
The crescent moon in the blank of night.
Inside the click of crab pincers. Outside
The sea of lobster pots…
Inside, the clock, the wireless, the claw.
Outside the salt sea
- no I want the salt sea in those saucers:
Inside the salt sea in saucers. Outside
The rock pool, small shivering moon.
small and shivering took me a while to decide on. Rock pols are rarely still, even on a calm day. And the Orkneys are known for their winds which have blown chickens all the way to Norway.
