Kneel down, right here. Fall into the arms of the earth. Put your body into the grass. Knees hard on rocks in the loch. Your stomach against the yellow moss, leaving the jagged edge of your shoulder blades to rise out of the ground like a range of spiny hills; the soft inwards curve of your spine a valley, two natural declensions mirroring each other. Become a cairn of stones, another facet of the landscape — bodily and geographic contours, fleshly crags and real stone precipice — all blurring into one.
