Poem

On a grassy verge above the surging rill 
she stood fair haired and proud,
three leaf clover substrate at her toes.
Clutching saline bouquets I had plucked 
from my neighbours walk-in green house.
Woman of resplendent peerage cast a 
pearlescent glance among the swirl-frond 
waves that prey on fractured fjords.
At a distance, in her mind.
But not for long before we fled like butterfly
 escapees over marshes, mounds and meads.
Shriek from sun-dried swallow as we stumble
 awkwardly upon their woodbine nest.
Noonday train fire iron to the fossil
 fuel bled caterpillar plain,
rural muzak for a pinpoint tip toe dash
 through barren fodder,
spiny thistle scald on insect bitten arch,
splashes are a symbol on our craft
 stitch needle knitwear.
Yet I struggled to keep pace on 
raw earth sand stone,
crab apple briar tangles by the dozen 
hung like plastic refuse obstacle,
but nothing now could halt this headlong 
sprint to who knows where.
