Ian Farnes
The clearing at the town’s edge
is a network of stillness muted by snowfall.
Two crows bolt black from the blank
flat skies and shift a hawk out, over
slate roofs, uphill to the miner’s village,
where we left the lines of rabbits’ skulls
along the broken wall.
Ian Farnes grew up in Burntisland, Fife but now lives and works as a translator and writer in Barcelona. His debut poetry pamphlet is due to be published in February 2025. More details can be found on his website.
