'scape, 2013, 7*, Carol, clouds, Eden, garden, green, hair, hill, life, Mam Tor, mist, morning, pine, silhouette, silver, sun, trees, valley, walking

                                garden

                walking up through the morning
                      to Mam Tor
                will the mist rise off the hill
                      as we rise
                well it doesn’t matter because
                      right there
                the sun has broken through the
                      upper cloud
                but not yet the misty-wet, making
                      the trees
                green-silhouette and the valley silvery-
                      incandescent
                as the new-born first day

                      in front
                is Carol’s forest of hair walking
                      slowly
                into the quick-grown pine getting
                      nowhere

Carol wormhole: handsome
clouds & trees wormhole: in the / Citadel / Park / a leaf / new / ly fell
garden wormhole: lost and city ground
green & hair & mist wormhole: prelude: // travel
life wormhole: lesson from watching two crane flies work the evening / skating across the panes flying and pushing legs grappling / the glass crossing repulsive over themselves and clinging akimbo / for a rest until lifeless just to get their stickly bodies through to the light
morning wormhole: mother and daughter
pine wormhole: clouds
silhouette wormhole: love and precision
silver wormhole: Life on Mars? – poewieview #31
sun wormhole: too much in arrival
valley wormhole: The Boats of Vallisneria by Michael J Redford – Snow
walking wormhole: prospect

'scape, 2011, 5*, bells, Castleton, green, hills, Mam Tor, oak, time, valley

 

 

 

                                                                      Sunday

                                                   oh look
                                                   a whole valley and
                                                   yes it is greens in
                                                   different strips but
                                                   down from the hills
                                                   the crowds of oaks
                                                   dark in their best suits
                                                   make their way in the
                                                   direction of the bells

Castleton & hills wormhole: gully
green wormhole: celebrate
oak wormhole: train // line
time wormhole: ‘8:30 kitchen …’
valley wormhole: ‘I should never want for something to write …’
