Fresh every day
This Riding landscape
Never changes
From here
The mile-wide Humber
Is a silver stitch
The moon
a bright button sewn on evenings
Blue velvet
And the wolds about us
Flowing and folded
Are waves
Breaking in geological time
Winter and summer
We walk the mile
To this companionable bench
And home
