LINES AT PALKOVARE
Getting there is easy
almost without trying
there is a river
audible brute particular
too large to be known
But in the afternoon
a powerful wind takes hold
birds are wrung from its pockets
darkness like wet leather
spreads over the earth
It is a knowing that isn’t learnt
an invisible thread
leading you back through the maze
somewhere
you too will have your grave.
