August
A Child's Question, July
A Noiseless Noise






A Child's Question, August

Starling swarms will soon be lorn
Rooks tell stories 'cross the corn
Goocoo soon will 'es leave make
Swifts abandon autumn's ache

What says dunnick, drush or dove?
"Love Me Tender"? Tender love?

Hear the grinding wheel-bird grieve
Grief unknits my ravelled sleeve
Death of zummer, death of play
Waxing night and dwindling day

Help me dunnick, drush and dove
"Love Me Tender", tender love

Help me dunnick, drush and dove
"Love Me Tender", tender love
Help me dunnick, drush and dove
"Love Me Tender", tender love










I Inside The Old I Dying

The beech buds wait
The aish buds wait
The frogs and twoads in lagwood holes
And hedgehogs in their leafy ditch
All waiting for His kingdom

The eth waits
The dead brakes
Host the holly’s bloody beads
They are His crown of thorns
And He will rise again

Oh Wyman, Oh Wyman
Unray I for en

Slip from my childhood skin
I zing through the forest
I hover in the holway
And laugh into the leaves

Oh Wyman, Oh Wyman
Unray I for en

I laugh in the leaves
And merge to meesh
Just a charm in the woak
With the chalky children
Of evermore
