Ancient boundaries:
Atrebates, the Belgae,
Catuvellauni.
A whiff of Arthur,
as he defended this land
from the foreigners –
those mercenaries
whom Voltigern had welcomed.
Was Mons Badonicus here?
I stumble across
some pushy Marasnius
oreades, which
rejuvenate with raindrops,
blown in from mainland Europe.
Challenged, they go underground.
They know coasts are never clear,
but invasion is a fact.
They are here for the long term.
