The Felling of the Sycamore, Hadrian`s Wall September 2023. (Revised Poem),

In the cold still dark

They crept out with saws, knives and axes

To cut down the sacred sycamore.

Even owls were silent,

And foxes ran their errands among the furrowed rocks

With the instinct of the hunted smelling fear.

The harvest moon sheltered in a gauze sleeve of cloud,

Intensifying the darkness and the stillncss.

The blades began to bite while the vandals quietly laughed.

Soon they were gone, speeding down cold tarmac on hot wheels.

The headlights of oncoming cars and lorries

Blanking out the hills, the fields: the stars.

In the morning when the hikers found the sacred tree was down

It seemed that even the Roman stones were desolate with mourning.

Autumn Equinox.(A Poem and Two Pictures).

Today is the Autumn Equinox.

Multitudes of butterflies rising up from the gardens,

Scintillating patterns on their spreading wings

Remind me of the vibrant scarves at Carnival

Lifted high to wave a fond farewell

To summertime, the frenetic inconsistencies

Of a season more turbulent than spring or winter.

The multi coloured patterns on the carnival wings

Are like the flaming leaves that soon shall fall

As daytime becomes an obscure glimpse of light, quickly fading.

In a week or two I shall start to wear my wind proof coat,

Heavy and dull as the clouds lumbering out of the west.

By then I should be accustomed to the sodden greys and greens,

Bright colours reappraised as wishful thinking.
