Eostre
The gorse is blooming
on the high common,
the blackthorn on the low.
In the copse
I curl myself up
in the moss
and dream
rabbit
dreams
and think
old
deep
thoughts
about the soil,
and discarded ribs,
and desire.
Far off I hear cars and
laughter
and the bark of
pack dogs
but here the thorns fold
over me
and the hills
roll
underneath
and I can sleep.
