Etched upon the water, four straight lines:
pegmatite veins within rock.
Wind-without at morning, five hours' time:
lost in a gentle tide's swell.
I made a recording of the poem in song form in September 2023.
Written on the morning of the 26th of July 2023, looking out over the same bay at Flakstad in Lofoten as when I wrote Disturbance. Inspired by waves observed there the previous night, as well as the landscape of Leka.
