Wisht 

 

brized in black heath

dry on dead ground

 

vigorous gorse   flisky

adders   clitters   sand

 

flutters of peat signed

with the slick of it  a

 

slut of a path   gentle

gradient of that bank

 

Sheele’s Green   whet

plain   this haunt of

 

hoof and hock   shy

eyes   akin   sweet gale
