Either is good the moor my call kept cold
\nlike eggs in trays the wash
\nwhere grey makes strange the greens
\na path about the scene’s meridians
\nI have sat here night
\nand day that is
\nin the night and the day time
\nBlack and yellow \u2013 the sun primes the scene for a crow
\na line of tiled houses the spectacular
\nday-into-night of basically objects
\nor the elevation not the dualistic containment of
\nspirit spread about the moor’s undeadness
\nNot a plate of glass No
\nthrough it
\nFlat-plain things to tour a landscape true
\nbark rot blues at lightrise rabbits prised
\nand foxes from the burrowed earth
\nfrom lane-side’s bee-loud burst
\nI have sat here like a bottle extracting tints
\nfrom the clear light my containment
\nis pure notness
\nlisten to the notes they are the creation
\nof my variation on fullness <\/p>\n

\nthe sun is conscious? Rows of stacked

\nexpecting snow now look at him
\nwith that
\n nozzle
\nMatti did you stack
\nthe milk with the dates going
\nbackwards? I did but isn’t
\nit strange
\nlittle snapshots of star formations
\n contained
\nin coloured bottles fastened with
\nplastic strapping <\/p>\n
\nof the path to the other
\nand a man carrying a shovel where the three meets tie
\nhas come from Sharpham Meadows the bur
\nial ground
\nI ask (unfortunate question) off to do some gardening
\nas I sd unfortunate
\nhe then believe it or not I’ve just come from Sharpham Meadows
\nthe burial ground
\nWhich I know from my time with JR on the coll
\naboration working by the still pool and the guests
\nlike gusts for the weekend arriving
\nSomebody has put down paving slabs across the mud
\nsomebody has left coloured slips of cloth
\nhas tattered tied them like little stoppages of blood
\nto the lime’s low August hood
\nWhat was I expecting the air to halo itself
\nto arrange me a realization <\/p>\n![\"3am-photo\"](\"https:\/\/www.3ammagazine.com\/3am\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/3am-photo-199x300.jpg\")
