Subject: walking the cliffs at Ogo Dour
white out at some distance
grey-green nearer
the stubble-below cliffs
a cliff top pool
a temporary thing of rain
wonderfully blustered
we look in
leaning away from the edge
being pushed to
seeking life
some dirt or something
but there is none
only the moiled clay soil
at its base
a stonechat dashes
from grasses out into sea sky
returning sharply
