Greenbank: They’ve cleared some of
the brush
The crowns of the trees fill the
train window,
trees with the heavy and rounded rain clouds.
With but I mean not removable from
birch, ilex, hornbeam, lime and oak.
Then a swell of willow, crack willow
or white willow,
a river bordered by crack willow.
Greenbank: They’ve cleared some of
the brush
from the railway berm.
Fresh clean cut of the sapling
stumps.
As the train lurches forward—stubble
fields,
hedges, an uncut field of wheat.
A white farm building stands out
against the green.
