Fire To Burn

I chopped the onions up
Kettle is filling up
I set the table out
Stars are rolling out
Fog rolls on the hills
That bucket needs emptying
I rinsed the kidney beans
Smell garlic and rosemary
Sit out on the porch
I’ll wind up the torch
So I can see you
As the kindling takes a hold
Sets fire to the cold
And I can feel it
A lowing in the field
Realer than the real
Draw in fading light
Drinking in the sight

In the middle of a fog
There’s nothing to be seen
It’s like an island in the cloud
Nothing’s quiet, nothing’s loud
At the bottom of a well
There’s water to be found
See it ushering from the mouth
Of the little water pump
that draws it out
In the middle of a wood
There’s magic in the air
Mushrooms pushing up from the loam
Where the little beetles hide
and call their home
At the bottom of a lake
A sleeping Bluebird lies
Safe in the dreams of a watery grave
Now we drink from the bottle
that bears its name
In the middle of a frost
They found his frozen bones
What was he doing?
Did he fall asleep?
With a fire on the range
and a blanket on his knee
At the bottom of a hill
I’ll wait a while for you
To go swimming in the lake
Is as cold as a human body can take
In the middle of the night
That’s when you see the stars
I can see Orion’s Belt,
Casseopoea, satelites as well

YOU!

You
Smiling at the sight
Kneel
Where fallen trees
let in the light
You
Shiver as you swim
Feel
The nerves recede
under your skin
You
Out there in the field
Listen
As horny neighbours
make a meal
Meanwhile out in the scenery
A fog lies over the hill
And shoulder to shoulder
We make a space
A ritual hollow to be filled
You
Howl into the black
Hear
Animal voices
answer back
Down in the town
With the people there
A fog hangs over the lake
The fells all melt into silhouettes
And your eyes go the colour
of wet slate

And Then...

The fog came out
The light came out
The worms came out
The birds came out
The rains came out
The penny buns came out
The coats came out
The maps came out
The sky came out
The words came out
The time came out
The flies they bite
The bats came out
The stars came out
The moon came out
The fire went out
