“She’d left for the shore,
exploring the sea-washed bones,
frayed nets, faded buoys,
her own independence.
Now I’m tilting a telescope,
and find her, a small figure
making her way inland,
the Minch wild behind her.
I twiddle the focus,
see how she jumps
a ditch, climbs a fence,
wind-blown, elegant and free.
I can find no adjustment
on the scope,
to still the vibrations
from a quickened heart.”
John Plunkett Poems | A Melody of Sorts
