In The Countryside

 

Monday 26 May

 

Metal giants stand,

Lined across the land, cables

In each hand. Humming.

 

Tuesday 27 May

 

Miles from pities and

Frowns he knows, he finds country

Smiles and bright hellos.

 

Wednesday 28 May

 

Campsite. Big snag. Scott

Forgot his sleeping bag. Claire's

There and keen to share.

 

Thursday 29 May

 

See how the land lies,

Dusk dims faint skies, grey lines fade

Fast, light lost at last.

 

Friday 30 May

 

You coarse fellow, gorse,

Yellow, sticking round, where no

Prim rose would be found.
