Abstract:
The Angry Planet
First movement
6pm
By an English wood one evening as I rested,
where fields come down to drink from a green river
and blackbirds bring the dark in with their song,
a slenderness swayed and curved of its own accord
like a stream the grass gave way for –
and there was the blunted stem of a lowly slow worm:
There’s a taste of silence in the grass –
like a winter we never wake up from,
where all the world is emptied of us forever.
And the field was suddenly thronged with a great crowd,
looking for something they’d lost and could not find
and sorry, sorry, sorry too late as always.
