Blackheath


My wild desolate soul
circles with the hawk,
trudges the stony track
that crunches underfoot,
casts an inky shadow
on the cliff face,
shares the black cockatoo’s raucous nostalgia,
bursts out like the spiky bush washed clean
in last night’s rain,
tough as the heath
on this spare plateau.
