Lands

I wandered along night-deserted village lanes for a living. I followed their meandering flow, their natural curves and winding rhythm, making my way along them at my own steady pace. I searched for the secret byways, the hidden stretches connecting the disparate fields and glens together in a patchwork facsimile of a single landscape.

With each new way revealed the patchwork grew, a fresh land to walk and catalogue before filing away once another formed behind the next hedgerow. Each world revealed something different… no, not really, more like the same place with a purple tree. But it was devoured all the same, the new lands read about in the papers and goggled at through way of the crank-handled projector.

But I keep on walking and keep an eye out, watching for those hidden ways and silent signs to the new villages and distant corries of hallowed stone, declining under the glow of an empty sky.
