"the sheep skull was meticulously clean
I had expected some sort of foul stench
yet the interior had been lined with bay leaf and vervain
concealed as my head was,
glances through the eye socket seemed inexorably returned by the witches standing above
my eyes flicked down to the mossy ground
they'd been there for hours, motionless
their figures warped by the ceremonial garb

Fedder, Winged one
Herne, the Horned
Steorra, of the Sun
Eyghe, Ealdorman

I feel very small
my grip tightens around the humerus and ulna in my hands
these too were stripped clean
small metal rings hold the delicate bones of the hand together
they make a gentle hollow rattle with my steps
it's hard to think of this as a piece of grandpa"
