My voyage began in the afternoon...
dressed for bed
a stroll to the desk
and back
to the desk
and back
and back
now to the window
litter the garden
leave the cat
curled hot
water bottle
and the clock
turned back
for day light
saving
follow
the wisp
into dusk
into dusk
along field
partition
down the valley
past the willows
ash and oak
first "shhh"
shhh comes before
the pheasant takes
off and flies
away
and over fence
the pheasant takes
off and flies
away
and over fence
and the breeze
of land agents
and haunted
houses above
the copse
of land agents
and haunted
houses above
the copse
the leaf face
jagged
jagged
and the whistle
of Tregeagle
emerging from
undergrowth
his tongue
in knots
of bindweed
his owner
calling him
in knots
of bindweed
his owner
calling him
through thicket
to where
the children
would swim
to where
the children
would swim
before
the world
the world
was changed
in a single
in a single
viewing
the
pool half-found
