Kimmeridge

Like the anty tourists

Dull sleepy clouds withdraw

Leaving us the warm remains

Of the sun tipping towards

Tyneham Cap

We chase the last rays

Up the hill

Up knee buckling steps

To the waiting Folly Tower

We watch the fire dance

Scorching off to the West

Then the hard descent

Into the slow still twilight

Sight gives way to sounds

Night closes moonlessly

Owls start to resonate

Distant voices over fields

Then

Bursting from the scrub

Overwhelming Nightingale song

Lapping on every inbound wave

Reflecting on every cliff fold

Transforming everything.
