From the romantic:

The Night Train


of paper rock scissors


you sleep into me

To undertones of Greek mythology:

night of small colour


a part of the underworld


becomes one heron

And other old tales:

old tales

moon-bright leaves

jostle the breeze

Wild Plum 1:1 (Spring & Summer 2015)

Dreams, childhood, magic, the battle torn, train journeys, and when we are graced, the love of birdsong, love and pain, and more:

snowline

the topography

of tears

And the sheer beauty of natural scenery where we like being made to feel small, and in awe:

far off Helvellyn snow the nouns of verbs
