Albion.

Albion.
Yonder
Over the hill
Beyond the frozen forest
The sunken city
Surrounded by clay pits
At the very edge
Of a forgotten lea
Trampled with muddy prints
Cloven hooves
In abundant display
Beware
Pigs will eat anything
There is a boat waiting
Rolling slowly
In an oily fat swell
It is barely there
More a vision
Than a ship
Transportation
Means many things
Midsummer
Is a nightmare
When anything can happen
Stonehenge was once
A new build
There is space enough
For imagination
To flourish
As the sails unfurl
The edge of the world
Is a stone’s throw
From the bedroom window
Invocations
Fall on deaf ears
Nothing good will come
Of standing still
As the ship sails
Journey's end
Is as close
As eight bells
When at last
The watchman’s vigil
Will be over.
