Ales Stenar
(after Kit Kelen & Susan Hawthorne)
(after Kit Kelen & Susan Hawthorne)
a stone ship
on the cliff
never made to sail
the ocean next to it
its stones never rot
yet root down under
after a thousand full-moon
rising and set
only sea breeze
blowing in between
the only trace
of the bone’s voyage
sleeping under
the boulders and the grass
only sheep and seagulls
keeping vigil
over their slumber
we are too busy
with our cameras
Loved this. Where was the image taken?
