slips on barnacled rocks
time for a grazing
crabs in salted pools
scabs from the exotic past
scatters on a dryer land
stand on grassy ground
see the ewe & lamb
hear the song of birds in flight
herds of cows – the people
ordinary’s skirge
grey wojak towns
grainy sand between us
sky in each sigh
shrouded in thick cloudbursts
thirsting for act three
we, the parched players
arch like marbled structures
corpse each stifled line
faded from green
in some autumn woodland shrine
hooded like a monk
in lieu of a rusty key
then came the skeletons
dancing after dawnbreak
…
