Exasperated friend
How easy
Stealing time
Delving down
Dig chip clink

Unthinkably ancient
Smudge
Filling the cupboards and the crates and the drawers of the British museum

Time told in bird wings in tree rings
No matter the weight no matter the weather

Turning all that’s living into stuff
Wind that was made to sing
We have never been modern
The hope that grows
