Sweet Yorkshire owl, come join the chorus
and with the London wolves together we’ll sing
a dirge for dying souls. Souls. Souls. Souls. Souls.

'Brian Lewis is not taking us back to pre-industrial edens; we are being shown the post-industrial palimpsest and made to engage with it fully...' Many thanks to Andy Hopkins for this reading of 'White Thorns' (published by @GordianProjects)

Redwoods survive fires
the way we’d like to outlive
pain: old heart, new skin.

'I think of the course I set at the crossroads, the road flickering on a dial, between grid north and true north. I think that I make each place as I pass through it. The less I see, the more I make. I think this, then unthink it.'

'Sheet 112'

[The Halt @HaltThe]

'A double row of black dashes, the imprints of two runways, set down like compasses.'

Both come first:
the light and the lights,
reports from our birds
and the waking flights.

White thorns, spinning sky,
each horizontal axis
sings the trinity.
One zenith, then another,
the crowns abide in the air.

An outline of the Humber: the setting of two new sequences in the forthcoming 'Uniformannual' (due from @Uniformbooks next week)

To each a new east,
a distance between two points,
layer by layer,
the land remediated,
the way unaccompanied.

[The Halt @HaltThe]

Outgate, an unsigned
intersection, flaked asphalt
grating on dirt tracks.
Sing to the utility
posts, the insects underfoot.

[The Halt @HaltThe]

The village sleeps on.
Yellow cones at the junction,
late cancellations.
There is something in the way,
disturbing the formation.

[The Halt @HaltThe]

Water divided
from water. The sheds and kilns
now white verandas.
Pits effaced by fishing lakes
and proprietary flags.

[Longbarrow Press @LongbarrowPress]

Each swarm of flakes
was a magnified slow-mo
of the particle world
until we climbed
into another climate
where heartbeats steadied
to the creep of sykes
slowing down their pulse
under ether of ice.

'The rivers, forever five rivers
Driving down through limestone, carving grit —
Every vista the city delivers
Forged at their silvering hand...'
