cavity
| a rough made wall |
man high – man built |
| step by sweating step |
along the steep road |
| stone on stone – solid |
stacked upon the last |
| with deep carved capstones |
hauled high above |
| while time worn mortar |
stressed and cracked |
| by probing rowan roots |
and writhing bramble stems |
| by stone-crop seeds |
and folded fronds of fern |
| yields and loosens |
loosing hold on captive stone |
| while deep in dark depths |
of cracks and cavity |
| life holds its breath |
and waits. |
Roger Bloor
