"A Diamond
A Translation for Robert Jones
A diamond
Is there
At the heart of the moon or the branches or my nakedness
And there is nothing in the universe like diamond
Nothing in the whole mind.
The poem is a seagull resting on a pier at the end of the ocean.
A dog howls at the moon
A dog howls at the branches
A dog howls at the nakedness
A dog howling with pure mind.
I ask for the poem to be as pure as a seagull’s belly.
The universe falls apart and discloses a diamond
Two words called seagull are peacefully floating out where the waves are.
The dog is dead there with the moon, with the branches, with my nakedness
And there is nothing in the universe like diamond
Nothing in the whole mind."

"There isn't just one hidden, occulted England. There are hundreds. I am from the England of the wires. The England of the electric ley, The Hum. A criss-crossing above your head England where there's no such thing as silence in the fields." – Signal-catcher Rose, ex-Pylon Person (via @HooklandGuide)
