GOLDSWORTHINESS

that Scotsmen unpiled centuries
of tradition and craft escapes
passersby and squirrels
for 30 or 40 human paces

the hill crests and by
trees rowed like cornfields
that seem to have grown
for this alone
genius uncoils

inefficient and beautiful
evading use
embracing form

this stony serpent slithers
wayward past moss and man
into dark pond and
followed no more
