NEROLI KISS by Andrés N Ordorica for The Second Life

The last of three poems by Andrés for The Second Life grants scheme, funded by Creative Scotland and the Edwin Morgan Trust, 2021.
"In my last poem, I explore a memory with my husband atop Bennachie in Aberdeenshire. You could say that Aberdeen is my biggest anchor to Scotland, having married into a Scottish family many, many moons ago. A family who have passed on the Doric language, a heartiness to survive ‘dreich’ northeast winters, a love of ‘rowies’ and an appreciation for granite houses."
