about

A camp fire song that evokes folk-memories of the blind horse of Byard, the promontory of Donna Nook and Hubbard’s Hills near the market town of Louth.

lyrics

“Better late than never comrade,” the mighty stumble, into view.
In silted ditches filled with trauma - I am calling you.
The marksman’s cry, a stella dance, projected on a winter’s sky.
I am running into sunlight, from a room without a view.

From Hubbard’s Hills to Donna Nook,
through wire-grass in sand dunes high.
The fickle and the hunted call – the knot becomes untied.
A constant drone – an ancient tongue?
The scabbard falls into the breach.
A relic found on cirrus ridge reflects against my eye.

Beside, a brittle campfire burning, sparks ignite the paper sky.
It is here that I retold the stories, of my other life.

Of sodden dogs and blind, winged-horses and other tales that I recall.
I sit and watch their silent faces, afraid that I will fall.
Of sodden dogs - and blind, winged-horses. And other tales that I recall. Sodden dogs - and blind, winged-horses. I will remember you.
