#2021 - lines from a stray breeze


2021

6.195

13.vii.25

lines from a stray breeze

a meadow crossing

 

here’s calligraphic distance

shadefolds of crag

 

such clouds as find us – the anvil and the rag

 

up close

thistle and wild grass

 

little bridges of the marsh

 

underbranch

dungwhiff,  the overripe bloom

 

shadow patched

a view through rust

to the sandy bottom

 

things land on me here

they take off again

 

years more than we count

lie wrecked all around

 

we grow over too

 

meadowsweet, angelica

honey scented hours

 

though we are walking away from

a sun here follows us over

 

hear the weekend marksmen

turning creatures into game

 

unfortunate machinery

keeping our wilds at bay
