Unravelling
Fields like tapestry Fields like patchwork quilt Fields like
ripples over water Fields like sunspots on lens
Fields floating clouds shifting with wind shapes always
changing an old stone wall diced onion in
a frying pan ladders in a pair of tights Fields
like computer monitors sheep frantic screen-savers
Fields like squares on a chessboard livestock pawns
slowly moving into battle Fields like tablets foil
pierced with nail end take two every four hours
with water do not exceed the stated dose Fields like ridges
on a knife edge teeth-marks in a stone Fields like trap-doors
or unblinking eyes Fields unmarked graves Fields burning
torches Fields burning red mosquito bites growing and itching
and itching Fields dismembered limbs Fields scars over skin
