Postcard from the Beara Peninsula
where black stone finds
grey water, silver foam wraps
around rock
your voice
beckons me back
through white shadowed rain
Silk waves in glass are merely
your ghost
swimming in mirrors
Hidden in mist
a seabird sings
your echo
as wind flickers
feathery buds
bursting in thunder-blast sun
you’re haunting the heather
