Cold so piercing
I cannot feel
my own fingers
let alone the golf club.
Despite my three-week beard
the wind numbs my cheeks.
Ash Wednesday:
turntable time;
sinking fire.

A flock of woodpigeons
swarm on Boggle Hill
as if it were Trafalgar Square,
feeding shoulder to shoulder
on something invisible.
They rise up togther
from time to time
like starlings
in a swirling scarf
of grey, then settle
on the brown wold,
moving across the raked earth
like police searching
for a murder weapon.
