MURK:



Bring the sky down, in soft-dove-grey tears,
Upon the wet-field-sheep´s soft downy ears,
Falling softly down, from sad & pewtered sky,
Glistening droplets, within the ruddy fox´s eye.

From the Black Mountain´s murk, clod & slag,
Spun upon the spindle, from life´s  bent old hag,
Field, tor & hillock, all bewitched in olive green,
Goblins hidden deep, yet by humans to be seen.

Bequeathed from Dragon´s mist-spread breath,
To all Welshmen life, but to aliens, surely death,
The drizzled weeping tears, of satin, shivered grey,
From hawk-beaked-heavens, to whom we daily pray.

Of sodden blackened clod & dampened muddy murk,
Saddened awakening, from dreams in shuddered jerk,
Give me this old land, of green & grey-plutonic sky,
And I shall be peaceful, when my time comes to die.
