Moors

Wind swept days, a good time
to be a thin branch
in a treeless landscape.

I was not born to the moors,
they were born again in me,
they're a sea creature
created to be
the heartbeat of the sky.

Rains surf over mountains of air
pell-mell is the wilderness.


The rolling swells of a high heath
have saved me,

or maybe it was the lash,
the hundreds of shapes
gypsy winds can take
when you roam the unknown.
