“Thistles”-Ted HughesAgainst the rubber tongues of cows and the hoeing hands of men Thistles spike the summer airAnd crackle open under a blue-black pressure.
Every one a revengeful burstOf resurrection, a grasped fistfulOf splintered weapons and Icelandic frost thrust up
From the underground stain of a decayed Viking.They are like pale hair and the gutturals of dialects.Every one manages a plume of blood.
Then they grow grey like men.Mown down, it is a feud. Their sons appearStiff with weapons, fighting back over the same ground.
