The Downs

64 4 4
                                    

Over the crest of the hill 

A gale blows me onwards

Wraps its wisps about me 

As if the wind is a cloth.

Down the path it tugs me

And meekly I consent

Concave in confidence 

I stumble in my decent.

The chalk beneath me crumbles

Rough and skeletally pale

But it still supports me

Willing me down the hill.

The rain a cage around me

Obscuring my hearing and sight

I say goodbye to my close star

As it gently succumbs to the night.
