At the old house at Netherfield
Gulls passing with the clouds
the scimitar shape of crows diving
thunderheads are building
above the mountains highpoints
a storm perhaps again today
…
Looking out at the forest
the Oakwood’s leaves are still
the storm is not close
Welsh for Oak – Dwr
always reminds me of thunder
…
There are photographs of me reading
one at the old house at Netherfield
on a bench under the Maple tree
I’m facing sunset casting the last light
along the West coast of Scotland
