SHRIFT AMONG HILLS

The gaunt stones upright on nude fells

Alone shall be his gods: naught else

Hold his urgent blood and sense

Subdued in proud stern reverence.

Only to these who make their house

Among clean winds he bends his brows.

On their austere lips he shall place

The spent passions of his face.

The cupped midnight like a great bowl

Shall lave him. He shall go forth whole.
