| 説明 | Poem 5 from OUTCASTS IN GREENWOOD: Poems inspired by the Medieval Robin Hood BalladsSUMMER IN GREENWOODThe blood has barely flaked from off my bill,When brightness burns the glade, and leaves wax green,And I have barely choked back all my bileBefore the deer draw down, the meadow grown,And shade their sweating flanks where shadows spread,The greenwood trees about them spun with silkAnd gossamer. I lie here, spent and sprawled,And here the wolf will pant, the cowled fox skulk,Lapping up my tale. A songthrush stropsHis bill against a stone, then kills some worm.The spread leaf of the hazel curls and stirsAs if shaken. Breathless, sweaty, warm,She comes. I feel her pulse grow from the ground,My eye fixed on her face: I fear her breast,That lust might make me weak, or turn me good,That finding woman, I forget the beast.Below her throat, I watch her pale skin pulse –The severed head of Gisborne takes its place.Poem by Giles Watson; reading recorded on 2nd April, 2010.For further details on the background to these poems, see my Outcasts in Greenwood set, here:www.flickr.com/photos/29320962@N07/sets/72157608384905983/The line drawing of the deer and the coloured picture of Robin and Marian are illustrations by S.
