beltane (may day poems, glastonbury 2019)
pale-
moon sun: slow,
heavy drops on the site
of arthur’s tomb (his
queen in small
print!) – a quarter of a
millennium, the myth
its own black
box
*
in the orchard, escaping
me: bird of black & red &
white, flying Her tri-
colour…
*
yew-gloom –
drumming &
shouts from
the town
