arctic skuas, guillemots and black backs,
probing – swaying –
with low and high motion
intersplicing
retrieving coordinates –
rangag, ruard
glas mheall liath, coir a’ghiubhsachain
skaill, point of hellia
splitting through eastern sutherland
hovering above caithness,
plunging into clear green depths shining,
from waters to coconut fragrance melting yellows,
beyond into wide moors – back then to orcadia
