The Tuesday Poem

The Tuesday Poem this week is "The Great Dying" by Kathleen Jones, featured by Helen McKinlay who describes it as an account of a "fascinating and moving story ."

The Great Dying

For those whose bones

lie only an inch under the grass

I have only words.

Below the skin of moss or turf

they lie where they were felled

in  hundreds

where the trees are greenest.
