David Arnold: Two Poems



1.  

walk swiftly through these
                                        woods
outsourcing calories
    is ecstasy through slow burn

may slip on tree root --
take out a whole chunk
& come to in blissful
accommodation with the world




2.

        This mind
in tilt
            flings out
    a foot            beneath
a knee

Self promenades - in groups -
    its other selves to see -

walks out,    bereft
            or blithe

Describe a path
from 'Fisherman's Wharf' to 'Orford Quay'

Can limbs combine with history
