Western Landscape

 

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.
