Winter Fields of Laois

Winter Fields Of Laois

Wind song whispered
between drystone wall and hawthorn
morning cold stiffening face and fingers
every clod-n-sod is an obstacle,
my head bowed like a bull 
turning to look down the hill
moments pain and reflection.
A bitter droning voice 
pressing coat to spine...
now curved as an eggshell
Above the trees a crow 
a raggy dancer on the wind
is driven by the music
and rises
