"One...
I smelt the weird Atlantic.
Finistere...
Finisterre...
The sea surface darkened. The land behind me,
and all its cells and cysts, dark.
From a bald boulder on the cairn top
I spied out the horizon to the northwest
and sensed that minute imperfection again.
Where the last sunken ray withdrew...
A point of light?..."

A maggot of the possible
wriggled out of the spine
in the brain..."
