Haystack

Look! Rats and the children run out from

their hiding places in the haystack to

dance in front of us in a merry line?

Who else do you think hides here?

 

Do you have a memory of haystacks or

artist’s haystacks?

(Perceval’s Angel)

 

Tumble down the Haystack

dreaming columns of Greece.

 

Tumble down the Haystack

              with childhood farming friends.

Tumble down the Haystack

              to horses and the cows.

 

Now,

climb up that artist’s Haystack

and tumble down again.
