ligature / blackweir / lost pond

"The lough waters

Can petrify wood:

Old oars and posts

Over the years

Harden their grain,

Incarcerate ghosts

Of sap and season."

​Heaney

​

ligature / moor mill pits

"There is a shyness at the core of existence, a hesitance to be seen. 

The world reveals itself only when you submit to it, when you consent

simply to being here, in the quiet. And so you pause now, and breathe,

and let the flickering leaflight burn you away."

​Baber

ligature / chilterns

"Bone-spur, stirrup of veins —white colt

a tree, sapling bone again, worn to a splinter..."

Zarin

ligature / 24 hours on the medway

"A close resemblance like one dream to another

As I gaze on them, I begin to wonder

From which side of the river I watch . . ."

​Tada

palimpsest / medway

"Alone, but this river must flow;

I remember, you were not mine,

you were never mine to lose."

​JK

ligature / epping / one

"Each leaf he passed he'd never pass again."
