I stood upon the #skerry And witnessed millenia undone. A tiny shadow of a past Shrunken. Stolen. By rising waters, Withering hearts. Holding back tears Lest they hasten The waves That will finally Swallow it Whole. #vss365 #poetry #climatechange

The lighthouse stands tall
waves crash upon the #skerry
island guardian

If hardship does indeed
build character
like the dime store shrinks say
then my residence on this #skerry
which I learned today
is an uninhabitable rock
in the middle of a lake

This existence
definitely qualifies me
as the King of Solitary
with as much moral gravitas
as the Dalai Lama

“So long as it’s not an uninhabited #skerry where we have to build our own shelter,” said Mia.
“Sorry, but if we want luxury, there are going to be other people around. The isolation sounds good though.”
Mia raised an eyebrow.
“Baby talk,” said Tom. “Who’ll be first?” #vss365
