High On Clouds: Dublin / Reykjavik

Finally piercing it, the sphagnum-grey, heading for the sun's blue romper room
above Ireland


Over Scotland
tilted into the shine
specked by black
keyhole islands
no
cloudshadows
edge of Scotland

sea-mauled edge, salt
bite of a bay, rime
of a town
landing in Icelan

puckers and long fissures
cooked scar tissue
tipp-exed with snow, roads
that might actually get somewhere
Over Iceland

The poem is a delight. I especially enjoyed:
sea-mauled edge, salt
bite of a bay, rime
of a town

thanks for that.

Thanks Dave. It's a long way from finished, notes for a poem really. But I had the images and wanted to give them a context. I may yield to further self-indulgence and post a later revision (there are already several) with different images.
