    Woodhead Pass 2008

    A regular journey recorded in a poem after a long drive over the Peak District on a rainy Sunday evening. I love writing about the weather, as much as I love writing about the ordinariness of 'things' and places.

    Woodhead Pass 2008

    Woodhead, indistinguishable, invisible


    Doused and drowned by a rainfull smothering cloud
    Driving slowly behind beetle tankers
    I can’t see the endless Dark Peak
    Just inflections of egg yolk gorse.
    All around me on the sized down moor
    The random sheep are dirty, unwashed
    Rag tag and filthy grey
    Contrasting acutely with the tiny lambs
    Newborn, pristine white
    Sheltering in the lee of their mothers
    From the biting snowladen wind
    Just so much a poundage of mince and shoulder
    Averting my gaze, despairing of such destiny
    I stare at the oncoming stream of cars
    The headlights join up
    A moving necklace of starburst citrine, diamond and sapphire
    Refracted by the anonymising cloud, unworldly.
