7. The Ingestible Dolmen.




When did you last wash your face with the early morning dew?


Me? Day before yesterday. 


Before that?


Hard to say ... might have been in Ireland a looooooong time ago, or in the meadow here a little more recently.


Either way – it felt brilliant!


Vigourised (is that a word?) (‘tis now) I strode on.


A young deer scrambled down the bank and vigourised by the surprise 

of seeing me and my sparkling face, dived into the forest blow.


Above the Dolmen, I stopped to watch a bird of prey hovering against the blue sky.


Praying perhaps for prey.


The Dolmen would have been ingestible, me too.
