Coarse granite slabs split the earth glinting at the fractured sunlight. Sly winds whip and lash the grass and gorse; disconsolate skies weep upon the land.
Rain rushes in to bloat the meagre streams, and gulleys slash the sinewed clay. Pulse and sluice. Erosion fashions new forms of contoured legends.
Ragged crows snag the horizon blasted and cursed. Little else between the walls of weathered stones: hand-laboured one on one.
The moor muscles its independence, frowning at the low land, bragging to the skies its ancient splendour.
