in the ruined croft cottage



Brass bed,
roof gone, door gone.
Where the wind sometimes rests,
undisturbed by rain, whispering
at stars
Lovely whispery last line and a half, Seth!

Wow, Seth, that's about as good as any cinq could ever hope to be! Such a strong, clean 'spirit of place'.

Everything sounds more plausible on the shortwave.

(with apologies to TS Eliot)


I, too,
have stalked the smoke
o'er narrow tracks and watched
the shadows that rise from danger
and dreams.
