Kells, Scotland
It seems easy to belong here
where little that’s visible changes
between the generations.
These stones have been here
since the Romans built their fort
on that distant hill.
Grass has carpeted these meadows
since antelope and bear trampled
paths among the gorse.
The conveniences of modern life
do not disturb what the ages left.
There’s still much that belongs here.
These walls retain the scents
of many hundred years of cooking,
and all the cooks have names.
