Scotland -- Day One



Plane lands safely 
through the obligatory fog 
and clouds
Glasgow!

Ayr
Scottish breakfast
good friends
laughter
Zara remarkable for her presence
Ruaridh for his absence

Girvan
the waters of the Irish Sea
is that Ireland in the distance?
must be on such a clear evening as this

Walking the beach
and behold --
Ailsa Craig --
how do you explain 
a giant rock of an island 
jumping up
out of the sea?
Or the river?
Or the ocean?


Culzean Castle
Guest house to presidents
and such

The sun sets bright
and gold, 
laying itself down
across the water
day is nearly done

Stop at the Chip Shop
now it’s done
and well done

Scotland – day one
