A Patch Of Earth Under A Thatch Of Sky Poem by John Tansey

A Patch Of Earth Under A Thatch Of Sky





Each man must have a corner
A patch of earth

To call his own
Under a thatch of sky.

As the Homeless
Have their the memories of one,

Crawling back through
A ball broke window of the mind.

And even a leaper
Must have his ledge,

A bit of rock face To jump from.

As sure as the dead,
Lay claim,

To the plots for graves
That, in the end, receive them.
