WW 27th February 2008

They were not there
Others were not, either
Perhaps you
There, that is
Wherever there was
Not Bagga Tor, possibly
But elsewhere
The Wise One
And that other
with specs
In the gusting darkness
Beneath gleaming
cloud-flecked moon and stars
Among the tumbled ruins
and the windy echoes of a
ghostly, hobnailed past
But then
You had to be there.
Truly.
