#2022 - at the old hut circle

at the old hut circle

 

grass now where was human strife

 

poem is the map I make

 

it has these hills

the gates to lock

 

breathless climbs and summer sweat

steps to take

 

the yellow broom

 

pinks of bark and lichen grey

shade copse of birch

leaves turn

 

watch footing

wonder

 

how did they come here?

why, where did they go?

 

and the sheep all this while

 

the leafing undercrunch

 

a quern for grain to grind

 

this was a twigsthrow sky

 

eyes up, see clouds resting today

 

every view’s out to the day that was

 

each look-in’s this heart run

 

clouds inching on if you’ll stay

 

it was the sheep knew what they knew

 

they’re not telling

 

the underhat for summer

ask a wildcat where
