Sheep On The High Ground

the sheep were on the high ground

and the meadowland in its autumn beginnings

sounded with birds in the rosehips

and on the horizon clouds white like

soft rocks and across the yellowed highgrass the sheep stood and lay and broke their fast and gazed blank as if theirs is a knowledge ancient and not forgot with each new bloodline

like they know how myth becomes myth after myth
