Milk stand standing by t...Requiem for a milk stand<br /><br />Milk stand standing by the side of the road<br />Unremarked as a disused chapel, though<br />Plain as plain, bearing no signs of the sacred<br />Yet how the churns rang out in the rimey air<br />Of a dark dawn, turning the silence to singing<br /><br />Daisy and crumplehorn hightail down the lane<br />Bumpfff, the low moan of the pump, the tickety<br />Tack, techno pop beat of the clusters suck<br />Drawing the white stuff from tight uddered cows<br />Munching oats in the echoey parlour<br /><br />Oh milk of human kindness, how did you <br />Become another commodity traded <br />On the global market like oil or steel<br />Family farm, disused like the milk stand<br />Still standing by the side of the road<br />Plain as plain, bearing no sign of the sacred<br />Ghost churns ringingwildboarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02660594880932698657noreply@blogger.com
