#2,353 Our Yields

This is a thinned place in
Sussex –
God was eroded
from turning soils an age
ago –
here ploughs suffer
struck disruption –
blade-
blunting flints re-surface
& auld layers lift in time –
soils thinned by grazing –
Flocks fatten on hillsides
once wood-thick
[sea life
surfaces from a seascape
long lost] –
it will be dust
