Colin Simms
(MART - with Beryl)
listen like each other
while windsquall sounds
chimneys organs around
these crags I wonder
at you consciousness (turning)
of it the pass its passacaglia
over into the sour milk ghyll
we are high-strung together
will we reach a point of gain
conscious experience in the brain
(again, of such as martens’?)
consciousness as unitary for them
as it is for us, as particulate
particulars obviously differ
no doubt every way, rhythm
with what joy to find one
in this same cleugh near Ewe Hill
where as a boy ah fund yan
(yeears after, the seame thrill
-first, bein’ shown a marts kill
for the first tahm) these shits-
spill o’ rowanberry goo drittle
mebbe as sore in their bellies
as they have been in ours
(even as jam and tart and beer
and wine) - but that day we
ate them because of the marten -
and you hevving to piss your wellies
on the red United bus home!
