The Guga Stone - Study for Tales Of Alexander
December 18th, 2011 Doug
Not long before his final day,
language deserted him,
the meaning of vocabulary
flocking like a host of seabirds
from his head’s vacant nest.
The word for ‘wall’
blending with the term they used for ‘cliff’.
A fireside ‘chair’
referred to as a ‘skerry’.
His children becoming ‘cormorants’
diving on a ‘carpet’
transformed into the ‘sea’.
