• Spoiling the mound

  Staring out the open casement The nearby heath hides a hidden cache Ancient loot is stored away, encased by the ground’s elevation The groundskeeper is made to ready his spades I take a conveyance to the site I believe to be a grave Brave despite nascent night, by a brazier’s sawing light The men did…
