The Clasp


I belong to the gallop
the clasp
Art - Tanya Rossi

to the tearing up of earth
to the footprints     removed.

I belong to the mist, 
the cold, a long distance shout, a victim, with my name of her.

I belong to the days, and
the dreams that come
in the night.

I belong to the dance of folk through history, to songs about turnips and children.

I belong to the hands
that reach out, and
clasp onto mine.

Rob Kennedy
