Trafika Europe 1 - Northern Idyll
Hawthorn
more knobbles and angles than thorns all the signs of suffering chapped skin gnarled joints hawless twigs contorted limbs
would you rather be edging a field of contented cows layered and pinned but rooted in rich deep soil
or is life here worth enduring the minch’s merciless gales?
backed against the crag
braced for storms
holding to a principle that felt like freedom in your seedling days dying for it now
