Mull

KEEN

Under the plane’s giant white-tailed eagle wing

where flitting Sweeney’s final teardrop fallen

petrified to Ailsa Craig, flitting all alone

myself, I fancied that I heard a great auk calling.

Clearing the shore, I found the empty quarter waiting –

snow-patches in the Cairngorms clinging on

as though the rigging of the sky had tumbled down

and tangled on the peaks, some rare and downy thing.

And where the plane turned east-south-east I thought

to linger straining for the cries mistaken for

a witch of that last stray bewildered auk.
