\"My parents in the thick of war,
I fled the cottage to the shore.
A scythe shaped beach beneath the pier:
The perfect place to disappear.
I picked a round slate from the sand –
A pirate’s judgement in my hand.
I cast my stone against the floor,
It shattered in a hundred more.
A man sat mending nets nearby,
He looked up and he caught my eye.
“There’s more that you could do with those,”
He smiled as he wandered close.
He knelt and found another disc,
And held it like the Eucharist.
Then bowing as he turned away,
He skimmed his slate across the bay.
I felt I’d seen a miracle,
The dancing stone so beautiful
I wished my eyes were made anew,
Before it disappeared from view.
Remember I was only eight,
And kids from cities don’t skim slates.
He read the wonder on my face,
And answered, “Luing is a thin place.”
