In the enchanting realm of poetry, we often find ourselves lost among the vibrant imagery and delicate nuances that unfurl in every stanza. Take, for instance, the profound beauty captured in the lines of the poem presented here—where the warmth of a hermit’s hearth and the scent of wild herbs create a sensory tapestry that beckons us into a world of rustic charm and introspection. As we journey through verses that whirl with herbal potions and the notion of time, one might wonder: when was the last time you paused to appreciate the alchemical magic in the mundane? This piece invites us to explore not just the visible, but the unseen—where even the tiniest details, like “rubbing fern juice into her hair,” hold the weight of significance. So, step closer, and let your imagination wade through the wild hedgerows woven into these lines and beyond. LEARN MORE.
Beyond the ivy-clung forest stones
her hermit’s hearth does glow
with the scent of wild herbs
and other hedgerow matter.
‘Tis bottling night again,
the ladle is overemployed,
with the rhythm of eye measurements,
dipping and diving with the flow.
Simmering time’s for ladder knotting,
whittling worms out of the soul.
Busy yet still slipping backwards,
onion rolling in your wake,
time and distance are comfort’s friends
but seldom get down to the root.
Rubbing fern juice into her hair
with nimble fingers quick and true.
Frowning, she bobs and weaves
all ’round the magnetic target
which she cannot view remove.
