1958 approximately (under milk wood on the radio part 2)


it's a long time
since i saw coals burning
watched frameworks
of split wood collapse
heard the crack of grain
& the 'piss' of sap
it's a long time
since i watched the ca
t twitch leap
as a spark burned through fur
yes a long time
since i heard the voice of my mother
warning of a melted spine
that close to the fire
Female face
