about

On jut of air and open stone
the animals start their trudging home.

One bell tone from the dangling nest, at last
the humpbacked hill begins its chant,
after din of clods and snapping claws has passed.
The dander sifted on the grass.
A calyx rapt on twilit mud.

Have you counted time upon their paws
and hooves and tentacles and fins?
Heard the song-lines grafted onto dung?
Have you stirred their shadows with a stick,
seen them lumbering starlit up the ramps?

Trawl the sea-beds and the desert floor,
they hiss and purr and squawk no more.
