The clouds are on the fields;
limestone walls their arms,
and thorns glistening black;
white berries of rain are
dropping from haws; haws
like rubies on slender fingers.
Limestone-locked, sodden
fields in thrall to water:
caged cress-green reveries;
long memories and dumb
to speak, as the sea might,
of sorrows buried in their depths.
