Under the Lawn

The bones of dead cats and dogs are hidden,

Down, with the worm that waits in silent clay,

Under the Lawn.


The lost wedding-ring and a spatula,

Filthy as children, and human-bones, are

Under the Lawn.


A spirit with grey-eyes closed sleeps below,

With the Rats of Nhim and Fairie Kingdom, are

Under the Lawn.


And an old truck of plastic, and miniatures,

And the dormant diseases of past-ages sleep,

Under the Lawn.


A ravens' skull, and dogshit, a downed drone,

Solitude, Arctic wisdom, and beer-cans,

Under the Lawn.
