" Wadsworth Moor

Where the millstone of sky
Grinds light and shadow so purple-fine

And has ground it so long
Grinding the skin off the earth
Earth bleeds her raw true darkness

A land naked now as a wound
That the sun swabs and dabs

Where the miles of agony are numbness
And harebell and heather a euphoria "
