This is the view -
rushed by
boats, speckled houses,
flutter fandangos drifting by.
A Wolf spider wears back-abundant babes,
inhaled
before I've even sat down,
sunk into reverence,
spires of seeds,
still symphonies
brushed on backsides of crickets,
fair sail grasses on fair sail breeze,
trapped dog noise
freed, ambling
in open air
and children in wilderness,
across rolling earthpiles of good,
hidden
behind a church
in some bustling suburbia.
And I'm moved
by the bewildering joy of it all,
somehow
beguiling,
breathless
and pure.

I recently re-watched a film I hadn’t seen for ages called “Tideland” which is a truly bizarre and ever so slightly shocking film… but some of the imagery in it where she dives into the cornfield as it becomes an ocean took me right there with this write. I’ve fallen in love with it again since watching it, so it’s fresh in the ol’ noggin.
I think what I liked about this piece is it’s such a snapshot of an English scene. You can feel it seeping from the words and that’s what draws me into writes like this. They feel like home.
That ending tho. 👌🏻
Thank you for sharing.
