this time I will take the wind with me
in a brown paper bag
and sit with it waiting
on a five-barred gate
when the hounds are heard
and the shrill unlovely note
of a horn
when the horses follow
bearing little sparks of malice
bundled up in unappealing
red-faced flesh
then I shall open my paper bag
and watch as all are swept away
arms and legs whirling
up over woods and hills
out across the cliffs and waves
dropped into the deeps](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:fzqni4746vqkfd3mhnk65pr7/bafkreigeu7lh7nlgez5jrvfnrfy46ckjqrck5fjclgktrbq7hln7vib6qe@jpeg)
