Voices in the trees.


You can hear them, hear them

in the fossils underfoot

beneath us, underneath us,

in the rich carboniferous seams

trapped with the ferns, the brackens

of prehistoric times. Hear them in

village names, Silverdale,

Calverton, Bilsthorpe, their souls

remain, listen to them, listen

to their voices - the wind in the trees

you can hear them, calling, calling.
