A bartered dark
of full shone armours
gallowed brooks in
shins of alder
trod the clays of stilted copse
that crest the low slung chestnut rides
To inglenooks of scuttled hamlets
strung in river- maiden's hair ,
a haven for the last ascendant
flinted from the steeping turf.
A subtle art of arcane movement
starboard cupped
in stone- pocked pewter
sparks the grailed pain
of foxes harrowed
in that sudden wood.

A bartered dark
of full shone armours

trod the clays of stilted copse
that crest the low slung chestnut rides
To inglenooks of scuttled hamlets
strung in river- maiden's hair ,
a haven for the last ascendant
flinted from the steeping turf.
A subtle art of arcane movement
starboard cupped
in stone- pocked pewter
sparks the grailed pain
of foxes harrowed
in that sudden wood.
moonrise over old kent villages
