The Oken Stone Podcast
Poems, stories and thoughts from Galloway, Scotland.

Geology
Walking, I passed between stones
unnoticed leaving left and right

It wasn't clear but crystalline.
My hemispheres are cut through.
Thought is hard and ordered,
slow; blood seems
an unnecessary fluid,
heart beats a series
of shocks across
tectonic continents of skin.
