The deer ...



Walking away from the sea, we saw a deer -

It was gone in an instant, smelling our scent -

I saw its magical shape for less than two heartbeats - 

It floated above the field as though it were in a painting by Marc Chagall - 

The ripening wheat left no trace of its passing - 

Behind us were the sands of the wide bay - 

Clouds darkened the sky - 

The sea was a pale blue road to Lindisfarne -
