Remote Glen-Dwellers
By Angus Martin
Of this monstrously tormented
world, we know too much
that puts our minds wrong
and besides we cannot change it;
better perhaps the ignorance
of remote glen-dwellers in history
for whom the news was local
a trickling of small events
all comprehensible and sure
like the sun going down predictably
behind a hill that was always there
asleep in the bed of its name.
