Salted Caramel Brownies

II

Corfe

And the hazel thicket

And the red blackberry thorn.

Never trust a hemlock

An inch above your mouth.

An ice-green hemlock

Is a lover

In the wood.

Now every way the wind blows

this sweetie goes

In the south

Where goes the leaf of the rose

And the evergreen tree.

Inside the house, above the wood

Look out of the tall windows squared

With wood-strips painted white.

The wild hill runs up the wild sky

The wild sky runs over itself

And goes nowhere.

A man crosses the rough grass

Up the wild hill ;

Strong graceless kharki legs in silhouette

Tire and tough, treading the hill down.

He will not wear it down

Let him try !

He is here only because this place is

A button on the bodies of the green hills.
