Twilight heightened
Stars as chitinous eyes
Dinosaur-laced striations, Corn Kings have died
Beneath skies Titan-sized since the moist crowning of infant Time
Brooding fenlands oozing bog stink
Ancient lingerings, away from all the hinderances
Me alone in the flaying wind, walking the course of these leys
Tiger eye colour of everything
Dun and rangerly, dangerously alike
That mimery in a less memorious mind makes for a confounding sojourn
That sad pile of stones the only memory of a lost, lonely, frozen soldier
Stone dead when they found him, blue-toed by his post
Around him hosts of dead men like doll votives, open-throated.
