Claysways

Canillo sunny mountain side

A Saturday afternoon hike above Canillo village in Principat d'Andorra

Parishes dwindle. But my parish is
this stone, that tuft, this stone,
and the cramped quarters of my flesh and bone.
I claw that tall horizon down to this;
and suddenly
my shadow jumps huge miles away from me
and I’m home !
