Moving Apart


Geoff Stevens




A small island
from which can be seen
the signs of occupancy
by men that frequent pubs,
the means to travel
to the bookshops,
the galleries of town.
A small island,
a river one perhaps,
is what a man requires
at times a place cut off
from strain and stress,
an island in Lough Erne-
its farmhouse surround
of lush grass thinned
by shallow soil
that barely covers
the foundation rocks
of Celtic past a place
where sheep roam
behind a fringe
of trees
which check the breeze,
the ruins that men left,
the tower pointing to
the heavens, the river flowing,
the color of blue Gillette,
past other islands;
islands stretching to
the ends of earth,
available for landing
should this one
seem inadequate.
