A poem written in North Uist at a poetry workshop.

To Uibhist
​

We leave the city
Noise, bluster, bolshy rhythm
The lochside road beckons like the next chapter of a good book

Is Nessie real you say
Of course she is says you
I think of Colmcille and Brude and what they would think

Where are we
Inbhir Moireasdan of the union flag
It gets me every time

The tranquil glen of holiday homes
Leading west
Follow the yellow line across the page

The Five Sisters surround us
What are their names, what have they seen
Wonder, war, change, change, change
​

We cross the bridge like sliding along a whale's back
An t-Eilean Sgitheanach
Where Sgathach trained her warriors

The bay of Uig
Where Vikings once stood
Feels like a portal to another place

We weave our way through Loch na Madadh
The Bay of Dogs
Snapping at our heels

We reach Baile Sear
The east village now in the west
The ruins bring tears to your eyes
