The Irish Summer


Just back from a week in beautiful Kerry. Still waiting for summer to kick in.....


The wind 

has found a tooth gap 

in our defences


outside 

the ocean 

heaves 


gulls glide

skim

hover 


and then dive


an ephemeral

beacon of sunlight

scans 

the shoreline 


green 

and then 

grey


storm clouds 

huddle


we 

batten down the hatch 

hug 

a cup of tea


It will be a week 

for scrabble.
