Stone Lions |
At the dusty road’s divide |
We took the left fork for a mile |
To reach a black cast iron gate |
And as the rusty hinges yawned |
Through the trees we saw the path into the old estate |
Stone lions alone can’t keep us out |
While eagles and crows are sleeping |
We followed the road open mouthed |
We watched as the old place breathed its last |
Yellow diggers in a row |
Cough back into life and stretch |
To gulp the dusty sunlight |
Through the rafters through the brick |
Chimneys fall and push the past |
Out through the broken skylight |
Stone lions in rows, rising up |
In driveways and private gardens |
Stone lions alone, guarding us |
From gargoyles and long lost pardons |
Stone eagles and crows flying off |
To new and forgotten places |
Stone lions alone staring out |
Into our newborn faces |
Stone gods creep across the terraces |
Keystones and backstreet places |
Dust, fossils, and mud perishes |
Into our newborn faces |
