9/100 - road of silences


The road to the kirk
Is a road of silences

[from Roads, George Mackay Brown, Selected Poems 1954-1992]

8/100 - a-babble with vowels (and a nod to asemic writing)

Further than Hoy
the mermaids whisper
through ivory shells
a-babble with vowels.
[Song: Further than Hoy, George Mackay Brown, selected poems 1954-1992]

5/100 - the whales on trek

Far in the firth
And saw blue surging hills, the whales
On trek from ocean to ocean.

['Ploughman and Whales', George Mackay Brown, from Selected poems 1954-1992]
