Witness

  

           you locked 
           up shadows
           in old chests
           with rusty hinges
           and ramshackle fittings
           those fields of tulips 
           seemed steeped 
           in blood & the weight 
           a thousand years 
           suspended from
           ropey tendrils swathed
           in straw , live twine
           the poplars wresting 
           sudden gales from
           the coast 
           their tall outlines 
           accusing the ochre wastes
           beyond and the striated
           skies while swathes
           of linnets sweep by 
           screechings ,  wings aflutter
           hastening the dusk 
           premonitions of thunder head
           down the headlands streaming
