Notes
From the portfolio Ten Landscapes, 1976. Originally with poem by Stephen Gray:
There's no averting the kind of gale
that smears fire beneath it
no deflecting the hopscotch flames
storming from low ravines to the sky
and if the grass is skinned painfully
stropped across like a razor
and firebrands burst like bombshells
and sirens go as if it's doomsday
hold on - because tomorrow
it turns black and grey and green.
