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.
