Among agricultural spaces <br />Through cool hollows <br />By a sycamore-lined glen <br />Sits a post <br />A post wrapped in decaying roots <br />Roots that once strangled the centurion <br />Behind the post <br />Tangles of Multiflora Rose and Honeysuckle <br />The top of the post is disintergrating <br />With crevices and fissures <br />That collapse when the harrier alights <br />Driven into the ground 120 years ago <br />To mark a plot's corner <br />With Granite and Feldspar outcrops dotting the hills <br />This old post has been buried in snow <br />This old post has been drowned in downpours <br />This old post has been sun scorched <br />This old post had been a backbone in unity <br />Biodegrading back into it's formation.<br /><br />C.R.
