The village/land

• our _ / our _

  our land / our woods
• we're too small...

  getting smaller
• we have no _ or _

  we have no magistrate or constable
• dissent is never...

  counted; it is weighed
• our church ground has been...

  desecrated by our surliness. our usual scriptures are abused. this body on the cross is not the one that's promised to us
• master _ and lady _

  master havoc and lady pandemonium
• our _ are scattering

  our spores are scattering
• life should be allowed to proceed...

  in its natural and logical order
• the fairy caps must...

  take the blame for everything
• I passed the church ground...

  where we never had a church and never will
• it seems like a lifetime ago, ...

  but it is hardly seven days
• the widow Gosse's home is...

  breathing black and mine is coughing smoke
• with the pillory...

  as dead as mutton at his feet
• the ginger cats of flame, ...

  which have already put an end to all the other village homes, licking at the milky air
• I want to see the turret...

  flaring like a beacon with flames higher than the pinnacle of any steeple
• an eden with...

  no Adam and no eve
• just patterns and patchworks, as beautiful as embroidered cloth, ...

  not real in any way, but far below and not quite reachable
• what I recall is hugging animals, ...

  and finding gorgeous horrors on the grinning bark of trees, and endless tumbling
• the fairy caps have ...

  set our lives alight
• the weather is reminding me that, rain or shine, ...

  the earth abides, the land endures, the soil will preserve for ever and a day
• unlit chamber of a ...

  great cathedral
