from BARDO

The stars are in our belly; the Milky Way our umbilicus.

Is it a consolation that the stuff of which we’re made

is star-stuff too?


– That wherever you go you can never fully disappear –

dispersal only: carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen.


Tree, rain, coal, glow-worm, horse, gnat, rock.

Islands of the Heart



Take me to seamist and silence;
The gulls’ cries; light on the mountain;
This brindled bee; green stone;
This blackface sheep for a pillow;
The sky, my duvet.
