how green was my valley...


a blasted stretch
between two mountains
where only scatterings 
of woody scrub survive
a place where low flying
vengeful scrutiny drags
her sharp, hollow claw
in parched dry runnels
over and over and over again
cultivating dust that howls
this dark acre looking
for someplace to hide...
