On The Wall - Fiona Scott
Startled by a vixen’s cry
the legionnaire shakes cold dawn
into his head,
and stares out over the moors.
Black scraps of crows circle the hill,
gushing streams clatter
with melting mountain ice,
yellow flecks of winter in his eye.
Tugging his rough cloak closer
against the chill,
he conjures an azure sky
above golden groves.
Remembering the slide of silk
and hot breath on skin
he dreams of distant dawns.
