Owen Sheers - Skirrid Fawr lyrics

Just like the farmers who once came to scoop handfuls of soil from her holy scar, so I am still drawn to her back for the answers to every question I have never known. To the sentence of her slopes, the blunt wind glancing from her withers, to the split view she reveals with every step along her broken spine. This edge of her cleft palate, part hill, part field, rising from a low mist, a lonely hulk adrift through Wales. Her east-west flanks, one dark, one sunlit, her vernacular of borders. Her weight, the unspoken words of an unlearned tongue.
