to Harold and Gene
at first light
fog fragments woods
as three men
find the green clearing
they survey
the square
and stake
stakes
into sallow
soil
they twist
twine
around pine
posts
as a preamble
they shovel
sleep-sand
with sharpened
spades
and
measure
flat feet
with fours
and twos
in this rite
they found
foundations
with first
steps
and slay
snakes
with Parsifal's
spear

How can you write like this? You really take time and care with your babies don't you? You put me to shame Mr Harvey, you really do.
Such beautiful alliteration within and no word seems forced. Lovely jubbly, you.
I think they need to give it up and let Jason take over.
Thank you for finally posting this and the rest of my comments. =)
