Filled with ache, and longing, I think, for the history of the Holy Loch as well as for the companion’s touch, the distances of bird flight, single across expanses of water. A poem served well by its music, an architecture in the repetitions of “loch” and “gorse,” lines counterpointed with internal rhyme and half-rhyme: sea/trees, haze/glazed, church/birch, fast/faster/past/lost, and many more. Well done, indeed.
