Through the ditch and under the hawthorn MAG
Still green the grass
 Droplets glistening against my boots
 Slugs appear on the tips of leaves –
 Save yourself! Climb up –
 
 Through the ditch and under the hawthorn
 Head north by northwest, the hill is getting steeper.
 Mist still falling and fog staying still
 White creature runs afar.
 
 And yet it levels off – above all else, still grass
 A gorse bush hangs over the island ditch
 Half crumbling from years of cattle's itchy heads
 Its roots are showing.
 
 Turn; a blanket of woolen cloth. I know 
 What lies beyond – my eyes aren't needed here. 
 The creature runs over, circles and stops. I rub her ear
 And soon she sets off running again.
