tell me       a poetry collection       John Bailey      

 

Waiting at the henge

at the meeting of the lines
oak beam, smoke beam
stone strong, bone song
lay, Lady, lay

two stones standing
one stone, lonely stone
dark lines waiting
lay, Lady, lay

two stars pointing
one star rising
three stones ringing
lay, Lady, lay

gold knifed mistletoe
thorn leafed holly
ivy twine, oak wood bind
lay, Lady, lay

at the meeting of the lines
at the turning of the times
at the changing of the blood
lay, Lady, lay
