Sample text from On the Edge |
from the edge
a stone tossed
into the clouds
lightning strike
in a faraway field
we wait five seconds
in my pocket seeds of another summer
grey day
gritstone escarpment
in good company
a man stands atop the Witches’ Stone soon shackled
walkers meander uphill destination unknown
forget-me-nots
the old mill race
still has purpose
