Dartmoor Dreams

Dissonant
At the extremes,
Living
At the hem
Of mother moor
Who, though mute
Issues her propaganda
Through size and age.
The poetry of conquest,
Influence brought to bear,
Timeless,
Nothing intended
On which we graft
Our present meanings
Inspired.
Dartmoor dreams
Make marks
On our memory
Somewhere between
Neglect and obsession,
Leave her
Indifferent.
