#2012 - aurora

aurora

ekphrastic for Gregor Smith’s 2019-2022 ‘Upper Loch Torridon’

 

 

light tumbles to the object –

the all before

it sweeps from either side of the frame

 

light is a river

colour’s the cloud

 

as a forest fades into the mountain

 

one sharp line for the sky

 

curious fur for sea

 

the way lies full on where we are

 

monsters mist deep

 

walls of light

from which nothing higher than the eye

 

look up look in

it’s less and less to see

 

all in

and then the twilight grey

 

I hope you’re in the picture

there’s really nobody here
