Dovestone - Latitudes

You wanted to walk

To the top

Of the mountain

To belong to someone

You belong to someone

Any ground

You’ll eventually unearth bones

Towering outcrop

Millstone-grit

Edge of the dark peak

Gullies and hollows

Conscious of violence

Gullies and hollows

Any ground

You’ll eventually unearth bones

Towering outcrop

Millstone-grit

Gullies and hollows

As night fell

The birds would have been silent

But the sound

Never ceases

You lie beneath the millstone sky
