European Legacy
She smiles at me from beyond the eastern sea-shore.
Flashing jewelled eyes, she hoists her skirts so high.
Nouvelle cuisine or an oyster bar it's really up to her.
I'll write every cheque she brings to me.
I shoot on sight it's my European legacy.
Round the castle walls about the Highlands and the Islands,
the faint reminders stand.Visitors who took a hand
a thousand years ago or so, stranded high and dry by tides
washed up a new identity.
The channel's wide but it's their European legacy.
I strain my eyes against the southern light advancing.
On whiter cliffs I'm high. The sea birds roll and tumble as they fly.
I hear distant mainland music echo in my island ears.
My feet begin to move instinctively
to the warmer beat of my European legacy.
