From, A Country Diary



Claxton


of light
of completed things
completed light
the aura of things
the swelling damp
this aura of swelling damp
and in this and the quietness
join in the quietness of the air
seem to join
of the air after all
and season
seem to after all
the day and season
the brisk morning
even the day
brisk morning
even the brisk morning
even the brisk morning

in a corner
in dim daylight
the last dim daylight
a corner
where breaks the last
where the holly
the holly breaks
the holly

they are commonplace
they are winter
a common name winter
commonplace in
gives them a common name in autumn
now that gives them autumn and spring
emergence now
that and spring
it is this emergence
it is this
it is this
it is
