What's going on?
Myddfai
The compass point quivers.
Where in Wales are we?
Myddfai, Mothvey, Myddfe
Village of the Physicians,
Partly on, partly off the tourist trail.
The hills roll not too steeply.
Trees nestle where they cleave.
Rivers rage, rest, tumble
Or meander through watery meadows.
But where are we?
The compass point rests.
Definitely not north, hardly south.
Too far west to be east, too far east to be west
And yet not properly mid – Wales.
Night time and the sky is starlit
Moonwhite spills over fields
Flows milky along hedges, down tree trunks
Stripping their bark bone white.
Let’s leave it to the stars to fix our bearings
To past, present and future.
Mary MacGregor
