shades of gray




In conversation -

Why did you want to return to Glasgow?
The rain and mist and so many shades of gray that are never black and white

The fact that you were born there and now returned as an adult?
The roots in birth, blood of the context, folds in memory.

What is luminous there? Are there presences we do not have here?
Gothic ghosts and mists that envelope. The city is not my home but rocky highlands and circles of standing stones have snagged my heart.
