NO PLOVER SANG



All the world
Eared my silence
No came near

No plover sang
To my silting heart
Strewn with cowrie lines

Channels gouged
ebbing of my heart
Bindweed embossing dull

Brooch glitters; still
on somebody's heart
A lichen to my gravel bed

The world a doctor
A patient, dead;
A naked surgeon gasp
