BROCH

Circled by water,
they built circles of stone

in hope blood-tides
might break upon them,

these currents carrying
invaders to coastline

dashed on rocks
hauled to shore

    In the Broch pile I pick my way,
    Among the places where Others lay,
    
            And slept and loved and sheltered?
