Final

The last wound was the deepest.
Kinder Scout by Beren Hartless
The wound of loss
Cries like the gale over the moors -
Fierce-whipping eroded rocks,
Stripping the thorned gorse of its last bloom,
Loosing desolation,
Devastating emptiness.

Silent-bound, the broken hillside mourns.

Only the kestrel keens.
B. I. Hartless
