Imber & Tyneham

Lonely Imber, lost now on chalk downs,
Seven miles from any town, out of bounds.
A village assault like the beating of wings,
Tries to suppress building eighteen.
Corrugated rooftops,
Unexploded debris.

Halted firing.
Harvest waiting.
Bells are ringing.

First they took the young men,
Then came back for Tyneham and its visitor parking.
Keep out and keep men free,
From forgotten fields, shell damaged homes.
A council house on Tyneham close,
A locked phonebox in a wooded fold.

"In comes I, the soldier man.
Don't you see the cap in my hand?"

Halted firing.
Harvest waiting.
Bells are ringing.
