Beyond the concrete is grass,
beyond grass, field stubble;
beyond that is rail, then meadow,
and finally forest to horizon.
Edgelands: separate and separating.
spaces with their own memories,
their own folk, their own stories
of life, of death, of persistence.
Enduring the long night.
Finding comfort and living
in warmth found or foraged.
