Blackdowns

To narrate is to relent: in me there shall be no relenting,
storm baiting the fields with light, the deathless instant
of outhouses, cars prone on gravel in searing greyscale,
the copse hard by the storage tank deepening its covert.
Who steps with me into the shadows, allegiant, sudden,
if not you, from the foothills out across the bare Levels,
the briefest image regnant even at the point of collapse.
Now turquoise lightning thrusts among the stark ridges,
the water discloses in a moment the shape of its tresses,
the torn birch is lashed, stumbles, immaculate with fire.Station III
