promontory

The sea's hand has a sixth

finger, castle holding promontory,

pressing against the wind's mouth.

An artists's vague appendage, source

of inspiration, his tears are launched

like lifeboats to rescue thoughts of

Dunnottar castle, bar after bar toll

castle stone, tallying with story's

borne out of an artist's stiff brush

standing in a jar, the strive to be

authentic, are the constructions on a

promontory counterfeit when measured

against those of nature?.
