That fat buttery moon rising full
last night over the Dart
over the new-cut hayfields
over the South Devon heifers
ruminating at rest on the red earth
they're made of
that fat buttery moon
taking its station in Sagittarius
sign of the fiery pilgrim
the way at its maximum wax
it insists each time
urgent as an unheeded question
you must change your life
you must change your life
one step and then another
you must change your life

Walking the Old Ways : nature, the bardic & druidic arts, holism, Zen, the ecological imagination
from BARDO
The stars are in our belly; the Milky Way
Is it a consolation
is star-stuff too?
– That wherever you go you can never fully disappear –
Tree, rain, coal, glow-worm, horse, gnat, rock.
