On the edge of the world
Trepidation on this beach
Mires my mood
New Year has many tales to tell
The future a hostage to silicon~
And heavy metals. Nuclear too.

Now all is bare, a cupboard full of lies.
Rehearsing for the coming-times of war and famine.
Wars about water.

which will bring untold suffering, more slaughter.
The more we seek to protect our children
the more we endanger them.
I see a man bending
his head, as if in prayer,
on Chalgaraidh Mull’s shore,
along this edge of Scotland,
on this very edge of the world
where I must give up grieving
and learn to fight, again.
For the time to act is not passed,
it is now!
the more we endanger them.
